Airfoil Simulation – Plotting lift and drag coefficients of an airfoil at different angles of attack

Discover aviation on Instagram: "In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler or lift dumper) is a device which intentionally reduces the lift component of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow. By so doing, the spoiler creates a controlled stall over the portion of the wing behind it, greatly reducing the lift of that wing section. Spoilers differ from a

Mr.AircraftEngineer on Instagram: "Here are some essential facts about airflow around airplane wings: 1. Lift Creation: The airflow around an airplane's wings is what generates lift, allowing the aircraft to fly. As air flows over and under the wings, the shape of the wing (airfoil) causes the air on top to move faster than the air underneath. This difference in speed creates lower pressure on top of the wing and higher pressure below, producing lift. 2. Bernoulli's Principle: The lift generated
