Difference between Coffin corner (aerodynamics) and Flight envelope

Coffin corner (aerodynamics) vs. Flight envelope

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. In aerodynamics, the flight envelope, service envelope, or performance envelope of an aircraft or interplanetary spacecraft refers to the capabilities of a design in terms of airspeed and load factor or atmospheric density, often simplified to altitude for Earth-borne aircraft.

Similarities between Coffin corner (aerodynamics) and Flight envelope

Coffin corner (aerodynamics) and Flight envelope have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Airspeed, Drag (physics), Fixed-wing aircraft, G-force, Helicopter height–velocity diagram, Lift (force), Load factor (aeronautics), Stall (fluid mechanics).

Airspeed

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

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.

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.

G-force

The gravitational force, or more commonly, g-force, is a measurement of the type of acceleration that causes a perception of weight.

Helicopter height–velocity diagram

The height–velocity diagram or H/V curve is a graph charting the safe/unsafe flight profiles relevant to a specific helicopter.

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.
