  • Geometric Angle of Attack (α): The angle between the chord line and the common reference line (often the horizontal axis of the aircraft).
  • Induced Angle of Attack (α_i): The angle by which the local airflow is deflected (downwash) compared to the free-stream velocity.

  • Before using the calculator, ensure availability of the following parameters:

    1. Temperature, T (Kelvin, K)

    2. Pressure, p (Pascal, Pa)

    3. Velocity, V (meters per second, m/s)

    4. Gas Constant, R (J/kg·K)

    5. Ratio of Specific Heats, γ

      After calculation, the following outputs will be displayed:

      1. Density (ρ...

    As I went on, still gaining velocity, the palpitation of night and day merged into one continuous greyness; the sky took on a wonderful deepness of blue, a splendid luminous color like that of early ...



    UAV Design Procedure

    Data Collection: This is the foundational step. It involves defining the mission requirements (e.g., payload, flight duration, range, operating environment, size constraints) and gathering component data (e.g., motor specifications, battery energy density, propeller performance curves) that will dri...

    Classification of UAV

    UAVs can be classified according to the type of wing and aerodynamic configuration they use. The wing configuration significantly influences the UAV’s stability, endurance, maneuverability, payload capacity, and mission role.

    Atmosphere

    Understanding the atmosphere is essential for safe and efficient flight, as atmospheric properties directly influence aircraft performance, control, aerodynamic behavior, and the accuracy of flight instruments.

    Airfoils and Wings

    Understanding airfoils and wings is essential for optimizing aircraft performance, enabling efficient lift generation, minimizing drag, improving stability, and supporting advanced aerodynamic design across subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimes.

    This course is designed to equip students with fu...

    History of Aviation

    Since ancient times, humans have been fascinated with the idea of flying. The Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus represents one of the earliest expressions of this desire, with their wings made of feathers and wax.

    Throughout history, inventors and pioneers have attempted to turn this dream into reali...
