• Zero lift axis — When symmetric aerofoils are moving parallel to the chord line of the aerofoil, zero lift is generated. However, when cambered aerofoils are moving parallel to the chord line, lift is generated. (See diagram at right.)A cambered aerofoil… …   Wikipedia

• no-lift angle — The angle between the chord of an airfoil and the relative wind that caused the airfoil to produce no lift. The no lift direction is the direction of airflow relative to an airfoil section or wing for which lift would be zero on that section of… …   Aviation dictionary

• Angle of attack — In this diagram, the black lines represent the flow of a fluid around a two dimensional airfoil shape. The angle α is the angle of attack. Angle of attack (AOA, α, Greek letter alpha) is a term used in fluid dynamics to describe the angle between …   Wikipedia

• Lift-to-drag ratio — In aerodynamics, the lift to drag ratio, or L/D ratio ( ell over dee in the US, ell dee in the UK), is the amount of lift generated by a wing or vehicle, divided by the drag it creates by moving through the air. A higher or more favorable L/D… …   Wikipedia
