creating lift. * With Bernoulli’s principle sails were able to create lift and sail not just downwind‚ but in every direction in relation to the wind’s direction except directly into the wind. * The keel * The sail alone cannot pull a boat upwind. A keel‚ or centerboard (see picture 2) is necessary. Keels were originally thought to prevent sailboats from slipping sideways and to keep them pointed in the right direction. However it is now known that keels create lift just as sails

been seen in similarly-sized insects - although a transient LEV is produced during the rapid change in angle of attack at the end of the downstroke. Finally‚ although an extended-wing upstroke during forward flight has long been thought to produce lift and negative thrust‚ we found circulation during downstroke alone to be sufficient to support body weight‚ and that some positive thrust was produced during upstroke‚ as evidenced by a vortex pair shed into the wake of all upstrokes at speeds of 4

Figure 1 below shows the change in magnitude of the steady state acceleration with time. This graph complies with Newton’s second law as the force applied is equal to 1 and the mass remains constant so and an acceleration of one is expected. I also tested this by changing the value of the force applied‚ to a value of 2‚ which in theory should give and equivalent change in the acceleration‚ to a value of 2. From Newton’s second law: it can be seen that as the force varies‚ provided moment of inertia

the coefficient of lift and the coefficient of drag while the aircraft is pitched at various angles of attack. This paper examines the research process and the data that was collected in order to determine the lift to drag ratio for various angles of attack. Objectives To experimentally determine both the coefficient of lift 〖(C〗_L) and the coefficient of drag (C_D) of a Piper Saratoga when it is flown at different angles of attack (α). This data will be used to calculate the lift to drag ratio (L/D)

Activity 1: X-Gliders Lesson Objective: Campers will learn about the forces of flight‚ weight and balance when they construct a glider. As they improve the design of their glider they will understand that a variable is a single change in the engineering. Set-Up: Each student will need two foam trays‚ a plastic knife and an x-glider template. Materials for weight and balance can be distributed at a communal table. Demo and discussion: Start off the lesson by asking your campers‚ “What are gliders

thing that must to be accomplished in order for flight to occur is that the amount of lift must be greater than the airplane’s weight. (lect 1/31) An airplane’s weight is a product of both mass and gravity. The larger the plane is in size‚ the greater the force in which the plane is drawn towards the Earth. Lift is the opposing force to weight that gives an airplane the ability of sustained flight through the air. Lift is accomplished through the use of the airplane’s wing. The aerodynamic shape

Compare the experimentally measured CL with the Thin Aerofoil Theory prediction of . Discuss the similarity and discrepancy observed. The graph shows at small attack angle (4° and 8°)‚ the measured Lift coefficient is quite close to theoretical predicted value ‚ this is because at small attack angle‚ air stream flows along the aerofoil surface smoothly without flow separation‚ which fulfills the basic assumption of Thin Aerofoil Theory‚ hence the
