Difference between Gliding flight and V speeds

Gliding flight vs. V speeds

Gliding flight is heavier-than-air flight without the use of thrust; the term volplaning also refers to this mode of flight in animals. In aviation, V-speeds are standard terms used to define airspeeds important or useful to the operation of all aircraft.

Similarities between Gliding flight and V speeds

Gliding flight and V speeds have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Airspeed, Drag (physics), Lift (force), Lift-to-drag ratio, Range (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.

Lift (force)

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

Lift-to-drag ratio

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.

Range (aeronautics)

The maximal total range is the maximum distance an aircraft can fly between takeoff and landing, as limited by fuel capacity in powered aircraft, or cross-country speed and environmental conditions in unpowered aircraft.

Stall (fluid mechanics)

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

Gliding flight and V speeds Comparison

Gliding flight has 109 relations, while V speeds has 37. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 4.11% = 6 / (109 + 37).
