The Stall angle, Aerodynamic Forces, Boundary Layer, Pressure Distributed, Gamma and Accelerations on Lift and Excess Thrust Directions.

3. What is the Forces Acting on Airplanes?
Weight: Is a force caused by the gravitational attraction of the Earth that is always directed toward the center of the Earth.
Lift : Is generated by the motion of the solid objects (airplane) through the fluid (air).
Drag: is created by the flow of air over the surface of the aircraft.
Thrust: Is the force that puts the aircraft into motion relative to the ground and brings the force of lift into existence.

4. What is the Weight Equation?

5. What is the Aerodynamic characteristics?
Airfoil
It is the cross section of a wing. The airfoil shape and variations in angle of attack are primarily responsible for the lift and profile drag of the wing.
NACA airfoils: are wing cross section designs invented by the NACA organization.
Geometry Variables of Airfoils:
There are four main variables in the geometry :
1. Shape of the mean camber line.
2.Thickness.
3.Location of maximum thickness.
4.Leading edge radius.

6. Aerodynamic Center: The aerodynamic center is a point along the airfoil or wing about which the moment coefficient does not vary with an angle of attack change.
Center of Pressure: A point along the airfoil about which the moment due to the lift is zero, i.e., it is the point of action of the lift. The center of pressure will change its position when the angle of attack changes.
Angle of Attack: The angle of attack is defined as the angle between the plane of the wing (airfoil chord) and the direction of motion (free stream velocity). The angle of attack can be varied to increase or decrease the lift acting on the wing. An increase in lift often results in an increase in drag.

7. Stall: As the angle of attack is increased, lift is also increased up to a certain angle. Beyond this angle airflow can no longer follow the contour of the airfoil's upper surface, as shown in the sequences in figure After the burble point the airfoil goes full stall.

14. Reynolds number and Mach number Effect on Lift
Aerodynamic forces depend in a complex way on the viscosity of the gas.
The important similarity parameter for viscosity is the Reynolds number.
The Reynolds number expresses the ratio of inertial (resistant to change or motion) forces to viscous (heavy and gluey) forces.
Where:
Re: Reynolds number.
: Density : Viscosity coefficient.
: Gradient of the velocity.
: Second gradient of the velocity.
The Mach number appears as a scaling parameter in many of the equations for compressible flows, shock waves, and expansions.
incorrect to measure a drag coefficient at some low speed and apply that Aerodynamic coefficient at twice the speed of sound (M=2) .
Where: M: Mach number.
V: velocity of the object. a: Speed of sound.

15. What is The Lift Equation?
Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air.
It is generated by every part of the airplane, but most of the lift on a normal airliner is generated by the wings.
It is a mechanical aerodynamic force produced by the motion of the airplane through the air.
It is a vector quantity, having both a magnitude and a direction associated with it.
It is acts through the center of pressure of the object and is directed perpendicular to the flow direction.
Lift Coefficient
It is a number that aerodynamicists use to model all of the complex dependencies of shape, inclination, and some flow conditions on lift.
Where:
CL: The lift coefficient L: The lift.
: Density.
V: Velocity A: Wing area.

24. Classification of Light Aero-Plane Engines
There are five possible power plants for light aero-planes:
Turbofan Engines are quieter and operate efficiently at lower air speeds than turbojets, because of the mixing of a large mass of external ‘cold’ flow by-passing the hot flow through the core of the engine: By-pass ratio total mass of air = (engine + fan)/mass passing through engine core alone.

37. The Modified NACA 5-Digit Airfoil
NACA As contrived as it sounds, the first digit is the design Lift Coefficient multiplied by twenty-thirds (20/3). For the most part, it's almost always 2. NACA The second and third digits combine to designate the horizontal location of maximum camber times two. NACA As with all of the NACA airfoils, the last two digits combine together to designate how thick the airfoil is as a percentage of chordlength.

46. Discussion
At Constant Speed (200 mph) and density ( lbm/ft^3) :
The value of Lift force increasing with increasing deflection angle of the flap which proves that the Lift force is a function of the angle of attack and increasing the value of Lift acceleration then the aircraft take more time and distance to arrive the right altitude position.
The value of Drag force increasing with increasing deflection angle of the flap which proves that the Drag force is a function of the angle of attack and that’s because increasing frontal area which make change in the value of drag.
The value of Excess Thrust decreasing with increasing drag force which decreasing the value of thrust acceleration then the aircraft take more time and distance to arrive the flight velocity.

47. Recommendations
Include the effect of Velocity on Aerodynamic coefficients
Use more advanced software to analyze Aerodynamic coefficients.
Simulate the aircraft with real dimensions on ANSYS 11.
Include the effect of friction on analysis.
Study the aircraft at landing position.
Use Drag reducing methods.
Calculate pitch moment from pitch coefficient.
Interested on Lift/Drag ratio and other factors.
