How does angle of attack affect lift and drag?

A higher angle of attack has an increase of both lift and drag.


How does the lift thrust drag and gravity affect a helicopter?

Lift, thrust, drag, and gravity affects all flying objects and wildlife. The blades of the helicopter provide lift, drag and thrust.


How will different styles of wings affect how far a paper airplane will fly?

Different styles of wings can affect a paper airplane's flight distance by changing factors such as lift and drag. Wings with a larger surface area or higher aspect ratio tend to generate more lift, promoting longer flights. On the other hand, wings with a more streamlined shape can reduce drag, contributing to improved aerodynamics and potentially increasing the distance the paper airplane can travel.


Does the lift depend on the surface area of the balloons?

NO...


What are the four forces that affect an airplane's ability to fly?

It is thrust, lift, drag and weightthat affect an aircraft's ability to fly. It is thrust that moves the aircraft forward through the air. The thrust overcomes drag and provides (with the wings) lift to overcome weight.


How do you control drag from increasing on helicopter?

Drag cannot be eliminated because drag always acts parallel to the relative wind. We can control by purchasing or using the right airfoil on the aircraft. An airfoil with smooth surface produces more lift than one with a rough surface. A rough surface creates turbulence, which reduced lft and increases drag.


How does drag affect lift?

it makes the lift increase a lot but is slow the plane down a lot as well that is why the pilots like me use is when we are landing a plane.


Why drag increases as lift increase - for helis?

The production of lift creates induced drag. To create more lift, more airspeed is needed, and with airspeed, comes drag.


How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps?

lift decrease and increase drag


What is the zero lift drag coefficient of Airbus A330-200?

coefficient of drag in 0 lift


How do shapes of wings and or body affect flight?

The flight of a body mainly depends on its response to the atmospheric air, the shape of the body & the forces acting on the body i.e lift, drag, thrust & weight. The two forces lift & drag are the ones primly influenced by the shape of the body and account to the aerodynamic nature of the body. Every body produces certain amount of lift & drag but its only the measure of these forces affect the flight. More lift helps the body to sustain flight ; less drag accounts for more aerodynamic nature of the body i.e, less lift/thrust is required to sustain the flight and viceversa .


What is zero lift coefficient of drag?

For no lift, The induced drag will be zero. However, there will still be drag due to viscous forces and pressure forces.
