High angle of attack aerodynamics is inherently associated with: • separated flows, and thus nonlinear aerodynamics > one of the key aspects is the interaction of components, and in particular, vortex flows (vortex bursting is also an important effect) • heavily dependent on wind tunnel testing • connected with flight simulation to ensure good handling qualities > this means that large amounts ...

background: it has been estimated that 67 million people worldwide are affected with a primary glaucoma and that one-third have primary angle closure glaucoma. we aimed to determine the biometric differences between the eyes of patients with acute attack of primary angle closure and their non-involved fellow eyes.   methods: twenty eight patients with acute attack of primary angle closure were ...

For lifting entry vehicle, angle of attack is one of the most important trajectory control inputs. This paper aims to develop a practical and effective method for angle of attack design. First, the factors which impact angle of attack are analyzed. The entry flight is discussed as equilibrium glide phase and initial diving phase respectively. And the operation zone of angle of attack is obtaine...

An intensive experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of vertical tail, single and twin (with different cant angles) on the flow field and the corresponding aerodynamic forces and moments of a model of a fighter A/C. Aerodynamic forces under different flight conditions and different vertical tail settings were measured in a supersonic wind tunnel. Furthermore, effects of ver...

Abstract The angle of attack and side-slip are two important flight parameters that directly affect the safety civil aircraft. This paper studies estimation method for according to air-data system, inertial navigation aircraft aerodynamic data improve under condition icing, failures, improper maintenance. Flight tests show proposed is feasible, reliable, has better accuracy. Furthermore, test a...
