How Wing Shape Turns Airflow into Lift
An airfoil is a surface designed to produce a useful reaction when it moves through the air. In aviation, that reaction may be the lift that keeps the aircraft in the air, the thrust produced by a propeller, or even the forces used to stabilize and control the aircraft during flight. The wing is the […]
How Air Allows an Aircraft to Fly
Aerodynamics and Theory of Flight Understanding How an Aircraft Interacts with the Air Aerodynamics is one of the most important foundations for understanding how an aircraft flies. For an aircraft maintenance technician, it is not necessary to master all of the advanced mathematical aspects of aerodynamics, but it is essential to understand the relationship between […]
