Question

For the aircraft, the angle between the relative velocity vector and the chord line is

• A. pitch angle
• B. angle of attack
• C. angle of incidence
• D. angle of inclination

Hint:

Angle of attack is key in aerodynamics: it directly affects lift, drag, and stall characteristics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The angle of attack is the angle between the oncoming airflow (relative velocity vector) and the chord line of the wing. It's a critical factor in determining lift.
