Functions

angle_of_attack

Geometric angle of attack

lift_coefficient

Total lift coefficient for a finite wing of symmetric aerofoil shape and elliptical pressure distribution.

lift_slope 🔒

The change in lift over change in angle of attack¹. Multiplying by angle of attack gives the lift coefficient (for a finite wing, not aerofoil). Aspect ratio is the ratio of total wing span squared over planform area.

zero_lift_drag_coefficient

The zero-lift profile drag coefficient is the parasite drag on the wings at the angle of attack which generates no lift
