Aircraft flight dynamics
Videos
Aircraft flight dynamics is the science of air vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about t
The Antonov An-225 had anhedral wings, which make it less stable but more manoeuvrable.
Lift (force)
Videos
When a fluid flows around an object, the fluid exerts a force on the object. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force,
