In aircraft design, the term “velocity” of the aircraft structure typically refers to the speed at which different parts of the aircraft are moving during various phases of flight. The velocity of aircraft structures can vary significantly depending on their location and function. To calculate or understand these velocities, you need to consider specific factors related to the aircraft’s design and operation. Below are some common definitions and factors to consider:
- V is the velocity of the Aircraft Structure (in meters per second, m/s).
- ṁ is the mass flow rate in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- ρ is the air density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- A is the cross-sectional area through which Aircraft Structure (in square meters, m²).
