Explain how an airfoil’s lift and angle of attack are affected by relative wind and airspeed and secondary flight control surfaces.

Explanation may include 

  • the change of an airfoil
  • effects on airfoil regarding the angle of attack at various degrees 
  • air speeds
  • bank angle. 

Process/Skill Questions: 

  • What is angle of attack
  • How does the angle of attack affect an aircraft?
