The term 'angle of attack' is defined as the angle between the airplane's longitudinal axis and that of the air striking the airfoil. Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface. The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag.

The average gross weight was 115,000 pounds. Photo taken on July 14, 1954 From May 1953 until 1957, NACA 150 flew numerous test missions at Edwards, contributing vital data to the evolving understanding of aircraft dynamics. The B-47A represented a significant departure from earlier, more rigid aircraft designs.

Its shortcoming was a meager useful load for its 1,800-pound gross weight. and focused on improving the Husky, including upping the gross weight. It retained the classic, high-lift Clark Y airfoil, but the span of its four-position semi-Fowler flap span was extended. Sales grew. In 2005, a new wing became standard.

Winging It Aside from the aforementioned desire for a greater aspect ratio for reduced drag, the one-piece Gweduck wing was developed for minimal weight, ease of construction and benign handling. But I have maintained 5000 feet at 6000 pounds gross weight,” notes Ross. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32

For one thing, the F2s fuselage hangs from a completely new wing with two distinct airfoil shapes. An obvious discontinuity leads to a thinner airfoil inboard. Max Gross Weight: 1,320 lbs.
