Forces
of
Flight
• LiL:
Force
produced
by
the
dynamic
effect
of
air
acOng
on
an
airfoil,
opposes
weight
– Pulls
the
airplane
into
the
air
Venturi
Effect
Newton’s
Laws
of
MoOon
1st:
A
body
at
rest
tends
to
stay
at
rest;
a
body
in
moOon
tends
to
stay
in
moOon
(InerOa)
2nd:
When
a
body
is
acted
upon
by
a
force,
its
resulOng
acceleraOon
is
inversely
proporOonal
to
the
mass
of
the
body
and
is
directly
proporOonal
to
the
applied
force.
(F=ma;
It
takes
more
force
to
accelerate
a
larger
object)
3rd:
For
every
acOon
there
is
an
equal
and
opposite
reacOon
Parts
of
a
Wing
• Mean
Camber
Line
• Camber
• Leading
Edge
• Trailing
Edge
• Chord
line
• Flight
Path
• RelaOve
Wind
Parts
of
a
Wing
Angle
of
A=ack
• Angular
difference
between
chord
line
and
flight
path
• Air
no
longer
smoothly
flows
over
wing
if
angle
of
a=ack
becomes
too
great
(cannot
produce
liL)
• CriOcal
Angle
of
A=ack
– Between
15
and
20
degrees
– LiL
is
reduced
– Drag
is
increased
– Wing
becomes
stalled
Wing
Design
• Aspect
raOo
–
raOo
between
length
and
width
of
a
wing
• Wing
area
–
total
surface
area
of
the
wings
• Planform
–
the
shape
of
the
wing
as
viewed
from
above
• Angle
of
incidence
–
angle
between
wing
chord
line
and
aircraL’s
longitudinal
axis
Wing
Types
Turning
Flight
• The
horizontal
component
of
li1
causes
an
airplane
to
turn
• As
airplane
is
banked
a
component
of
the
liL
is
directed
toward
the
turn,
leaving
less
liL
available
to
support
the
weight
–
more
liL
is
needed
to
maintain
level
flight
(back
pressure
on
sOck)
Turning
Flight
Forces
in
a
Turn
• AircraL
generates
liL
– Equal
and
Opposite
ReacOons
• In
a
turn
aircraL
generates:
– Weight
(towards
center
of
earth)
– Centrifugal
Force
(pulls
towards
outside
turn)
The
amount
of
excess
load
that
can
be
imposed
on
an
aircraL
depends
on
the
aircraL’s
speed.
Load
Factor
• Total
weight
the
wings
have
to
support
divided
by
gross
weight
of
airplane
– Expressed
in
terms
of
G
(unit
of
gravity)
• Load
Factor
is
increased
by
– Angle
of
bank
– Turbulence
– Pull
out
of
a
dive
• An
increase
in
Load
Factor
– Increase
stall
speed
– AircraL
always
stalls
at
CriOcal
Angle
of
A=ack
Slow
Flight
• Less
airflow
over
control
surfaces
• Control
surfaces
less
effecOve
• Why
pracOce:
– Feel
the
controls
at
slower
speeds
– Listen
to
the
aircraL
at
slower
speeds
– Similar
procedures
to
landing
an
aircraL
• Low
airspeed,
high
AOA,
high
power
sesng
Minimum
Controllable
Airspeed
(MCA)
• The
speed
at
which
a
stall
will
result
if
there
is
any
further
increase
in
AOA
or
reducOon
in
power
• Stall
horn
will
sound
5-‐10
kts
above
stall
speed
• Stall
horn
may
sound
when
at
MCA
Region
of
Reverse
Command
• Takes
more
power
to
fly
slower
– “Pitch
for
Airspeed,
Power
for
AlOtude”
• Speed
is
unstable
– Slower
speeds
may
get
slower
and
slower
– Faster
speeds
may
get
faster
and
faster
• AircraL
is
in
slow
flight
Load
Factor
during
a
turn
in
Slow
Flight
• Wings
have
an
increased
load
factor
• To
prevent
stall:
add
power
and
forward
pressure
on
yoke
• When
bank
increases,
stall
speed
increases
• Use
shallow
banks
(15
degrees
or
less)
• Use
less
then
30
degrees
bank
in
traffic
pa=ern
Maneuvering
Speed
(VA)
• Max
speed
you
can
apply
full
and
abrupt
control
movements
• Airplane
will
stall
before
exceeding
load
limit
• VA
decreases
as
weight
decreases
since
a
lighter
aircraL
is
subject
to
more
rapid
acceleraOon
from
gusts
and
turbulence.
Maneuvering
Speed
• Two
categories
for
aircraL
cerOficaOon
– Normal
(+3.8
to
-‐1.52
G’s)
– UOlity
(+4.4
to
-‐1.76
G’s)
– Can
withstand
load
factors
without
structural
damage
• Va
–
Maneuvering
Speed
– Speed
when
in
turbulent
weather
– AircraL
will
stall
before
structural
damage
occurs
– Varies
with
weight
of
airplane
Maneuvering
Speed
• Determined
by
weight
of
aircraL
• Directly
proporOonal
to
weight
– Heavier
weight
–
higher
Va
– Lower
weight
–
lower
Va
Stalls
• SeparaOon
of
airflow
from
the
wing’s
upper
surface
resulOng
in
rapid
loss
of
liL
• Always
happens
at
the
same
angle
of
a=ack
(criOcal
angle
of
a=ack)
regardless
of
airspeed,
alOtude
or
weight
Stalls
• Airplanes
can
stall
at
different
airspeeds
but
always
at
the
same
angle
of
a=ack
• Factors
that
make
an
aircraL
stall
at
a
higher
airspeed
– Increased
weight
– Increased
load
factor
– Snow/ice
on
wings
– Turbulence
• Types
of
stalls
– Power-‐off
(approach
to
landing)
– Power-‐on
(departure)
– Accelerated
(stall
at
higher
than
normal
airspeed)
– Cross-‐control
(sOck
in
one
direcOon;
rudder
in
the
opposite)
Stalls
• Stall
recogniOon
– Mushy
controls
– BuffeOng
– Reduced
wind
noise
– Stall
alarm
• Stall
recovery
– Lower
the
nose
– Add
power
Spins
• Airplane
must
stall
in
order
to
spin
• Both
wings
are
stalled,
but
one
more
than
the
other
• PrevenOon:
– don’t
stall
– stay
coordinated
– don’t
load
the
plane
aL
of
CG
range
• Recovery
– Thro=le
to
idle
– Neutralize
ailerons
– Apply
rudder
in
the
direcOon
opposite
spin
– Neutralize
elevator
– As
rotaOon
stops,
neutralize
rudder
– Gradually
pull
back
on
sOck
and
add
power
