Induced Angle Of Attack Calculator

The induced angle of attack is the additional angle of attack created by the downwash from an aircraft’s lifting surfaces, contributing to the effective angle of attack experienced by the wing. It is a result of the induced drag and influences the overall lift distribution and aerodynamic performance of the aircraft. Th formula to calculate induced angle of attack as follows:

Where:

  • CL is the Lift coefficient
  • AR is the Aspect Ratio
  • e is Oswald efficiency factor
