In flight mechanics, the “vertical force” acting on an aircraft refers to the force that acts vertically, perpendicular to the aircraft’s flight path and the Earth’s surface. This force is essential for maintaining the aircraft’s altitude and controlling its vertical motion, including climbing, descending, and level flight. Zw​ represents the vertical force acting on the […]

The local speed of sound (a*) is the speed at which pressure waves or disturbances propagate through a fluid medium. It represents the maximum speed at which information, changes in pressure, or disturbances can travel through the fluid. In other words, it’s the speed at which compressional waves, also known as sound waves, move through

The pressure behind a shock wave, often denoted as p2​, refers to the pressure of a fluid immediately after it has passed through a shock wave in a compressible flow. The pressure behind the shock wave is typically higher than the pressure upstream of the shock. This is because the shock wave slows down the

The specific enthalpy behind a shock wave refers to the enthalpy of a fluid immediately after it has passed through a shock wave in a compressible flow. Enthalpy is a thermodynamic property that combines the internal energy of a fluid with the work done on or by the fluid due to its pressure and volume

In flight mechanics, the drag force acting on an aircraft in the horizontal direction is a force that opposes the aircraft’s forward motion through the air. This force is caused by various factors, including air resistance due to the aircraft’s shape, air viscosity, and other aerodynamic effects. The drag force is a key parameter in

Bernoulli’s principle is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics that describes the relationship between the pressure, velocity, and elevation of a fluid in motion. It states that within an inviscid (non-viscous) and incompressible fluid flow, an increase in the fluid’s velocity is accompanied by a decrease in its pressure, and vice versa. p represents the

Velocity at point one on the airfoil (V1​) refers to the local velocity of the fluid at a specific location on or near an airfoil’s surface. In fluid dynamics, the velocity of the fluid is a fundamental parameter that describes how fast the fluid is moving at a particular point. Mach number (M1) Speed of

Speed of sound at point one on the airfoil refers to the local speed at which pressure waves or sound waves propagate through the fluid at a specific location on or near an airfoil’s surface. In other words, it’s the speed at which disturbances in pressure, velocity, or density travel through the fluid near the

Temperature at point one on the airfoil (T1​) typically refers to the local temperature of the air or fluid at a specific point on an airfoil’s surface or in its vicinity. Airfoil is the cross-sectional shape of an aircraft wing, and during aerodynamic analysis, various parameters like pressure, velocity, and temperature are measured at different
