of an aircraft by reducing wingtip vortices and increasing the lift-to-drag ratio. Winglets were first studied by Richard Whitcomb in the late 1970’s to improve upon aircraft efficiency at a time when fuel conservation was necessary to save on costs with the rising fuel prices. Whitcomb found that winglets could offer an improvement in the lift-to-drag ration over planar wingtip extensions at the same level of the root bending moment. His contributions have led to many more studies on winglets over

What is the relationship of lift‚ drag‚ thrust‚ and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight? Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag. During the transition from straight-and-level flight to a climb‚ the angle of attack is increased and lift is momentarily increased. During a steady climb‚ the angle of climb depends on excess thrust. A propeller rotating clockwise‚ as seen from the rear‚ creates a spiraling slipstream that tends to rotate the aircraft to

Airflow over an airfoil Flight is one of the most important achievements of mankind. We owe this achievement to the invention of the airfoil and understanding the physics that allow it to lift enormous weights into the sky. All flight is the result of forces acting upon the wings of an airplane that allow it to counteract gravity. Contrary to popular belief‚ the Bernoulli principle is not responsible for most of the lift generated by an airplanes wings. Rather‚ the lift is created by air

Jane Eyre’s most memorable moments lie in Bronte’s description of childhood. Explore methods which writers use to present the experience of childhood. ‘Jane Eyre’ is a Bildungsroman – a novel of a journey or coming of age – and thus focuses on the growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood. Therefore‚ childhood and how it is presented plays an important role in the book. Bronte uses a variety of methods to illustrate childhood; through use of language‚ descriptions‚ presentations of relationships

This force is called lift. In heavier-than-air craft‚ lift is created by the flow of air over an airfoil. The shape of an airfoil causes air to flow faster on top than on bottom. The fast flowing air decreases the surrounding air pressure. Because the air pressure is greater below the airfoil than above‚ a resulting lift force is created. To further understand how an airfoil creates lift‚ it is necessary to use two important equations of physical

wing aircraft has two main wings‚ with one located forward and the other to the rear‚ both wings contribute to lift. A lower first wing is located at the forward end of the fuselage attached directly to fuselage structure. A second higher wing is located at the aft end of the fuselage. Pitch control is achieved by increasing or decreasing the lift on either wing. In a tandem wing design the lift vectors on the two wings are spread far apart longitudinally‚ allowing them to act together to achieve stability
