| 11. | This allows one to produce common curves such as lift coefficient versus angle of attack ( shown ).
|
| 12. | In modern analysis, the Lift coefficient is normalised by the dynamic pressure instead of the Smeaton coefficient.
|
| 13. | A fixed leading edge slot can increase the maximum lift coefficient of an airfoil section by 40 %.
|
| 14. | Conversely any decrease in angle of attack causes an increase in lift coefficient that causes the wing to rise.
|
| 15. | In conjunction with a slat, the increase in maximum lift coefficient can be 50 % or even 60 %.
|
| 16. | The speedier airflow and the resulting Coand effect around the curvature allow a higher lift coefficient and a smaller wingspan.
|
| 17. | The benefit of the circulation control wing is that no extra drag is created and the lift coefficient is greatly increased.
|
| 18. | Even at low angle of attack, high lift coefficients have been shown with CFD and validated with wind tunnel experiments.
|
| 19. | They show an almost linear increase in lift coefficient with increasing angle of attack with a gradient known as the lift slope.
|
| 20. | As the wing rises the angle of attack decreases and causes the lift coefficient to increase further towards the maximum lift coefficient.
