The angle of attack is an aerodynamic term which refers to the angle between the mean wing chord of the airfoil and the direction of airflow.
This is different from the pitch angle of the aircraft in that the pitch angle refers to the aircrafts position in relation to the horizon, whereas angle of attack refers to the aircrafts angle in relation to airflow.

What is an attack from an airplane called?
Well there are multiple types of attacks from an airplane/plane/aircraft. If an airplane is bombing, it would be considered an air raid.
What happened in 2001 the year?
9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and airplane in PA
When was the first airplane introduced?
The first airplane was introduced about 1897.
Which wright brother tested the first airplane?
Orville Wright tested the first airplane.
Who was the first to get on an airplane?
The Wright Brothers in the early 1900's, who also built the first airplane
What is the angle of attack on an paper airplane?
The angle of attack on a paper airplane is the angle between the wing's chord line and the oncoming airflow. It plays a crucial role in determining the lift generated by the wings. A positive angle of attack can increase lift up to a certain point, beyond which the airplane may stall. For optimal performance, the angle is usually small, typically around 5 to 10 degrees, depending on the design of the airplane.
What is an angle of attack?
An angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the airflow over it.
What is the angle between the airplanes wing and the direction of airflow called?
The angle between the airplane's wing and the direction of airflow is called the angle of attack. This angle is important for generating lift and controlling the aircraft's flight.
What are the amounts of lift and drag for a airplane?
The amounts depend on the airplane's size, shape, speed, altitude, and angle of attack, among other things.
What will the angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls at is do to what?
The plane stall remain the same regardless of gross weight.
What control stall margin?
Stall margin is the difference in the critical angle of attack and the angle of attack in which you are operating.Example:Suppose, critical angle of attack= 15°AOA operating in a flight= 5°then, Lift by the wing balances the weight of the airplane with a STALL MARGIN= 10°Stall Margin is being controlled by an angle of attack and the position of flap control..CHEERS!
How does the shape of an airplane's fuselage affect its flight?
An airplane's fuselage affects it flight by a lot. It can change its speed, maneuverability, angle of attack, and even its necessary-for-flight wing size.
What do you do to avoid a sudden loss of lift and settling of the airplane?
Do not exceed the critical angle of attack, basically the angle the wings make with the oncoming air as the plane moves forward.
How is thrust related to the speed of an airplane?
As trust increases, speed increases. Providing the angle of attack, and the wind speed stay the same.
Does the angle of launching affect how far a paper airplane flies?
Yes, the launching Angle of Attack, along with the launching force, will determine range, unless there is some outside force (such as a motor) to accommodate it.
How air plane wings work?
Airplane wings generate lift through their shape and angle of attack. The wings are designed with an airfoil shape, which causes air to move faster over the top surface and slower underneath, creating a pressure difference. As a result, higher pressure below the wing pushes it upward, allowing the airplane to ascend. Additionally, adjusting the angle of attack can optimize lift, but too steep an angle can lead to stalling.
What is the difference between the Angle of Attack and th Angle of Incidence?
Hi!The angle of incidence is built into the aircraft, and cannot be changed. This angle is the angle that the wing makes with a level surface (such as if the ground if the aircraft were parked).The angle of attack (commonly abbreviated AoA), is the angle that the chordline of the airfoil makes with the relative wind. So if you were in straight and level flight, maintaining altitude, the angle of attack would be zero degrees.When an aircraft exceeds a critical angle of attack (which is determined by the design of the airplane), the airflow will peel off of the wing, causing the wing to stop producing lift. The aircraft is, in this scenario, stalled.Hope this helps.Source(s):PPL ASEL 6/17/08
