Does AOA become 0 after the aircraft flies in a particular attitude for sometime as the relative airflow has changed and how does it affect Stall AOA?
As AOA is the angle between relative airflow and Chord Line. Then after you increase the angle of attack and fly at that angle of attack for some amount of time and the relative airflow changes ...

How the AOA, Pitch and FPA are changing during a flight maneuver
For a steady state flight, there is a equation that FPA + AOA = Pitch, but how these three variables are correlated during a flight maneuver like currently I am in a leveling flight and then I want to ...

With flight dynamic equations, how do I return to positive alpha if alpha is always negative with negative w?
I'm coding a flight dynamics simulation, but my simulation runs into a problem with negative angles of attack. Once alpha is negative, it is impossible to get back to a state where the plane is ...

Is the elevator really an 'angle of attack control' as described in Stick and Rudder?
I've been reading Wolfgang Langewiesche's book Stick and Rudder and am a little confused about the definition of the elevator as the "Angle of Attack Control" or rather, the idea that each ...

Finding Angle of Attack/Angle of Sideslip using East/North/Up Coordinates
I've got a set of data that includes:
x rate, y rate, z rate (all ENU) which I'll call xd, yd, zd.
roll, pitch, yaw (which I'll call ϕ, θ, ψ)
roll rates, pitch rates, yaw rates
I'm looking at some ...

Spinning wing heat dispersion dynamics for Mach 24 and beyond?
Could a spinning disk dropped from orbit survive speeds faster than conventional aircraft in our atmosphere? Does the rate of spin matter when dispersing heat? Does a spinning disk create stability ...

How does the angle of attack vary in turns?
I read somewhere that when the aircraft banks to turn, its angle of attack increases.Since angle of attack is the angle between the relative wind and chord line, how does turning increase it? Is it ...

Which of these is true for a glider flying with constant angle of attack?
I'm trying to answer the following question, but I'm not sure of which one is correct.
A glider is gliding with constant angle of attack along its path. We can assume the hypothesis of small angles. ...
