Day #29 Angle Of Attack Helicopter Online Ground School

And I want to hit three definitions for you today. And I keep wanting to call these simple. And back to the same old point of. Yeah, sometimes things are simple, sometimes they're not so simple, especially on checkride day when you're nervous. So I want to hit angle of attack. The angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of the airfoil and the direction of the relative wind. What is the chord line? The chord line is a line going down the center of the rotor blade from the leading edge of the rotor blade to the trailing edge of the rotor blade, as you can see in the picture here. And a definition of relative wind is the flow of air in respect to the rotor blade. So hopefully these kind of help you just a little bit, commit these things to memory. He's going to ask you about angle of attack that we know for a fact that's that's going to happen. So thanks for stopping by. Day number 29. This is a little sneak peek at our online ground school. Thought the end of the month was appropriate to show a little bit of that. So, as always, thanks for stopping by and see you on day number 30. Thanks.
