Define the zero lift line
Consider a wing at an angle of attack such that lift is zero. With the wing in this orientation draw a line through the trailing edge parallel to the relative wind. That is the zero lift line.
Define the absolute angle of attack
The angle between the zero-lift line and the relative wind. \(\alpha_a=\alpha+|\alpha_{L=0}|\)
For an airfoil at \(\alpha_a=0\)
the point where \(M_{cg}=0\) is called

In general adding a fuselage to a wing contributes a ... increment to the moment about the aerodynamic center.
Two interference effects that influence the tail aerodynamics
1. The airflow at the tail is deflected downwards by the downwash due to the finite wing
2. Because of the retarding force of skin friction and pressures drag over the wing, the airflow reaching the tail has been slowed

Define the elevator control effectivenes
It is the slope of the curve, Lift coefficient of the tail ploted versus the elevator downward deflection angle at a constant angle of attack.
it is always positive
what is the goal of elevator deflection
to maintain the airplane trimmed at different velocitys, and different angle of attacks.
By deflecting the elevator the moment coefficient curve gets shifted to the left or to the right.

Definition of Pressure
Pressure is the Force perpendicular to a surface per area
Pressure at sea level \(p_s =101325 N/m^2\)

What is an isentropic flow
An isentropic flow is adiabatic (no heat exchange) and reversible (no friction or other dissipative effects, production of entropy)
what is adiabatic
a prozess in which no heat is added or taken away
what is a reversible process
a process in which no entropy is produced (impossible)
