Difference between Air brake (aeronautics) and Lift-to-drag ratio

Air brake (aeronautics) vs. Lift-to-drag ratio

In aeronautics, air brakes or speed brakes are a type of flight control surfaces used on an aircraft to increase drag or increase the angle of approach during landing. In aerodynamics, the lift-to-drag ratio, or L/D ratio, is the amount of lift generated by a wing or vehicle, divided by the aerodynamic drag it creates by moving through the air.

Similarities between Air brake (aeronautics) and Lift-to-drag ratio

Air brake (aeronautics) and Lift-to-drag ratio have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Angle of attack, Drag (physics), Fuselage, Lift (force), Parasitic drag, Stall (fluid mechanics).

Angle of attack

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.

Drag (physics)

In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.

Fuselage

The fuselage (from the French fuselé "spindle-shaped") is an aircraft's main body section.

Lift (force)

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

Parasitic drag

Parasitic drag is drag that results when an object is moved through a fluid medium.

Stall (fluid mechanics)

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

Air brake (aeronautics) and Lift-to-drag ratio Comparison

Air brake (aeronautics) has 47 relations, while Lift-to-drag ratio has 57. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 5.77% = 6 / (47 + 57).
