Dynamic Pressure (q) in aircraft design represents the pressure associated with the motion of an aircraft through the air. It’s a crucial parameter in aerodynamics.
The formula for dynamic pressure is:
- q is the dynamic pressure.
- ρ (rho) is the air density at a specific location and altitude (in kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
- V is the true airspeed of the aircraft (in meters per second, m/s).
