  1. Wing Anhedral and effect on roll stability and control

    Sep 2, 2014 · The discussion centers on the impact of anhedral wing design on roll stability and control in fighter aircraft, specifically the F-104 and Dassault Mirage III. Anhedral reduces yaw …

  2. Pros and cons of wing placement on an aeroplane - Physics Forums

    Jul 28, 2009 · The anhedral of the wing's center-section also permitted the wing and fuselage to meet at the optimum angle for minimizing drag, without the need for wing root fairings. [17] …

  3. How Does Anhedral Rigging Enhance Sailboat Performance?

    Dec 17, 2006 · Hi, There is some evidence that on a silboat going to windward in moderate to strong wind, heeling the rig over to windward (the reverse of normal) gives significantly …

  4. Two vertical stabilizers on the F-22 Raptor angled - Physics Forums

    Dec 8, 2009 · The F-22 Raptor features canted vertical stabilizers primarily for aerodynamic stability and to reduce radar cross-section (RCS). The angled design minimizes radar …

  5. Hydrodynamic forces on a foil, Reynolds number, viscosity

    Mar 15, 2018 · Can it be calculated from the Reynolds number? I discovered that there is a number called Reynolds number, expressing, as I understand, the viscosity coefficient of water …

  6. Calculating the cl_max of a wing from airfoil characteristics

    Jan 14, 2019 · The maximum lift coefficient (cl_max) of a wing can be estimated from the polars of the section airfoils using Xfoil, although this method neglects spanwise effects. To correct for …

  7. How dynamic and static pressures are related - Physics Forums

    Jan 1, 2019 · I teach aerodynamics and I’m looking for a way to explain how d and s pressure are related. I understand that as dynamic increases static decreases with the total sum remaining …

  8. The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones - Physics Forums

    Jul 28, 2023 · The main minerals in the primary gneiss are sub- to anhedral grains of alkali feldspar, microcline, plagioclase, quartz, and a lack of biotite. Fenitization-1 minerals consists …

  9. Winglets: Types, Benefits & Differences | Aircraft Aerodynamics

    Aug 29, 2006 · Winglets, including raked (scimitar) winglets and blended winglets, are crucial for enhancing aircraft wing efficiency by reducing drag and improving lift generation. Conventional …

  10. Aerodynamics: flow separation's effect on lift and drag

    Mar 27, 2024 · Flow separation significantly impacts the lift and drag characteristics of a wing in aerodynamics. When flow separates, it creates turbulent eddies and low-pressure regions, …
