An airspeed calculator designed to convert between indicated/calibrated airspeed and true air speed. Can also convert to Mach number and equivalent airspeed.
Angle of attack refers to the angle between a reference line on a body and the vector representing the relative motion between the body and the fluid through which it is moving.
The fundamental definitions typically associated with airfoil nomenclature are described in this post.
The reference wing area is defined as the plan area of an aircraft's wing.
Aspect ratio is a measure of the ratio between the span of the wing to its chord.
This tutorial investigates the wing airfoil, why the airfoil shape differs from aircraft to aircraft, and how to select the best airfoil section for your aircraft design.
All aircraft are subjected to four fundamental forces in flight that governs their motion through the air: LIFT, WEIGHT, THRUST and DRAG.
An aircraft’s fuel system must be capable of providing a consistent delivery of fuel at the flow rate and pressure established by the manufacturer.
Internal combustion engines must be adequately lubricated and cooled while running in order to provide safe operation and to function as intended.
An introduction to the various aircraft systems run off the engine in a typical light aircraft. This includes ignition, fuel, electrical and pressurization.
