An angle of attach of less than 40 degrees would have caused the shuttle to bounce back off the atmosphere - in the same way as stones are skimmed on water.
An angle greater than 40 degrees would have resulted in great deal of drag (friction). This would have caused the shuttle's skin to heat up more than the heat-tiles could have managed.

Zero degrees.
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
From what? It's 90 degrees from the floor, and its angle from the wall varies during use.
Lift lbf = (Normal force lbf) x (cosine of angle of attack)
it is the difference between local flow direction and free stream direction of atmospheric air
From atmospheric reentry to landing, a space shuttle typically takes about 30 minutes. The exact duration can vary depending on the angle of descent, speed, and landing location. The intense heat generated during reentry is gradually dissipated as the shuttle slows down and lands safely.
The angle of attack is the angle that the kite flys into the air at. The angle depends on the wind seeded in the area you are flying the kite in.
Dear sir,The followings are my quest....1. what is angle of attack?2. what is high angle of attack?3. why high angle of attack is used in super sonic air crafts?4. control measures used in high angle of attack?answer me through mail.yours ,isaacaeroisaac@gmail.com
An angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the airflow over it.
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.
A higher angle of attack has an increase of both lift and drag.
Zero degrees.
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.
This is termed the Critical Angle of Attack and represents a maximum in the Lift Coefficient vs. Angle of Attack curve. If the angle of attack is increased beyond this point, the wing will stall. For most airfoils, the critical angle of attack is around 15 deg. For swept back wings it is typically higher.
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!
the steeper the angle of attack the easier it is for your opponent to pare' your thrust or lunge. the steeper the angle of attack, the less your thrust is lined up with your line of sight, giving a larger emphasis on depth perception in the attack, and in a stressed, rushed situation, that often results in the touch being either high or low.
