Ö. T.
This flashcard set delves into advanced aerodynamics, focusing on concepts like lift, drag, and the intricacies of aerofoil design. It explores how factors such as angle of attack, wing area, and airspeed influence aerodynamic forces, with a particular emphasis on induced drag and its reduction techniques. The set is tailored for aviation enthusiasts and engineering students seeking to understand the nuances of wing performance and aerodynamic efficiency.

Assuming ISA Conditions, and no compressibility effects, if an aeroplane maintains straight and level flight at the same anlge of attack at two different altitudes, the:

IAS is the same at both altitudes.

two different altitudes, same AoA = IAS is the same.

Assuming ISA Conditions, and no compressibility effects, if an aeroplane maintains straight and level flight at the same anlge of attack at two different altitudes, the:

TAS is lower at the lower altitude.

Altitude ~ TAS

An Aeroplanes AoA is the angle between:

 speed vector and lonitudinal axis.

 

AIRPLANES AoA is between:

 speed vector and lonitudinal axis.

 

Which of the following planforms gives the HIGHEST local profile lift coefficient at the wingroot?

Rectangular

Highest lift coefficient = Rectangular!

The fundemental difference between the areodynamic charecteristics of two and three-dimensional flow is that, in a three-dimensional flow about a wing:

a spanwise component exists in addition to the chordwise speed component.

in 3-D: a spanwise component + chordwise speed component!

flow on the upper surface:

The flow on the upper surface of the wing has a component in wing root dircetion.

flow above the wing has a component in wing root direction.

Airplane accerlerates from 80 to 160 with load factor 1.

The induced drag coefficient alters with factor 1:16 

and induced drag with factor 1/4.

Acceleration: doubles

CDi:      1/16

Di          1/4

increasing AR on induced Drag:

it is reduced because the effect of wing-tip vortices is reduced.

increasing AR # decreasing induced Drag.

Induced drag is created by the:

spanwise flow pattern* resulting in the tip vortices.

 

*bilden

Di = spanwise flow pattern = tip vortices.

AR and induced Drag (Relationship)

a decrease in AR increases the induced drag

AR "^" : Di "v"

What is the effect on induced drag of mass and speed changes?

Induced Drag decreases with increasing speed and

induced drag decreases with decreasing weight!

DI ~ Weight

DI anti ~ speed

The induced drag increases as the lift coefficient increases.

DI ~ CL (lift coefficient)

High AR, as compared with Low AR has the effect:

decreasing induced drag and critical angle of attack.

High AR = decreased DI and AoA

TAS & Induced Drag

"TAS increases - DI decreases" 

TAS anti ~ DI ((Diagramm) x und TAS))

CDi (The induced drag coefficient) is proportional with:

CL²

CDi ~ CL²

Induced AoA is the result of:

downwash due to tip vortices.

Induced angle of attack results from downwash due to tip vortices.

The span-wise flow on an unswept wing is from the:

lower to the upper surface via wing tip.

span-wise flow on an unswept wing:

lower to the upper surface via the wing tip!

local flow pattern:

By fitting winglets to the wing tip the strength of the wing tip vortices is reduced, which in turn reduces induced drag.

fitting winglets, reduces induced drag.
