I have trouble understanding why the ball (on the turn & slip indicator) falls into the turn e.g. drop to the left when aircraft is rolled left, when in an uncoordinated turn (slipping turn). What ...

In this video at 2:57 they increase the AoA to maintain lift, which normally also increases the drag. Now, imagine that we don't increase the AoA: the drag will not increase but we will not have ...

We had a discussion with friend and we were talking about if the airplane is on approach and the one is landing with tailwind and the other one is landing with headwind, so both have the same value of ...

It is often said that the lift vector helps to propel a glider forwards. The lift vector has no component acting parallel to the glider's trajectory through the airmass, but in many cases the lift ...

A question about "minimum power" airspeed had me wondering, why not think of "maximum Lift/Drag ratio" as maximum Lift/Thrust ratio. Gliders would be included, as they use gravity ...

I am wondering about the g-load and its relation to the so called gliding ratio. I read this really good contribution here on this forum: Does lift equal weight in a climb? So the g load factor is ...
