Difference between Angle of attack and Coffin corner (aerodynamics)

Angle of attack vs. Coffin corner (aerodynamics)

In fluid dynamics, angle of attack (AOA, or \alpha (Greek letter alpha)) is the angle between a reference line on a body (often the chord line of an airfoil) and the vector representing the relative motion between the body and the fluid through which it is moving. Coffin corner (also known as the aerodynamic ceiling or Q corner) is the region of flight where a fast fixed-wing aircraft's stall speed is near the critical Mach number, at a given gross weight and G-force loading.

Similarities between Angle of attack and Coffin corner (aerodynamics)

Angle of attack and Coffin corner (aerodynamics) have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Airspeed, Fixed-wing aircraft, Flow separation, Lift (force), Load factor (aeronautics), Stall (fluid mechanics).

Airspeed

Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air.

Fixed-wing aircraft

A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft, such as an airplane or aeroplane (note the two different spellings), which is capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings.

Flow separation

All solid objects traveling through a fluid (or alternatively a stationary object exposed to a moving fluid) acquire a boundary layer of fluid around them where viscous forces occur in the layer of fluid close to the solid surface.

Lift (force)

A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it.

Load factor (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, the load factor is defined as the ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weightHurt, page 37 and represents a global measure of the stress ("load") to which the structure of the aircraft is subjected: where: Since the load factor is the ratio of two forces, it is dimensionless.

Stall (fluid mechanics)

In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases.

Angle of attack and Coffin corner (aerodynamics) Comparison

Angle of attack has 34 relations, while Coffin corner (aerodynamics) has 36. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 8.57% = 6 / (34 + 36).
