Question on theory of flight

Question

describe each component of the lift formula

L= CL X 1/2 P(rho) X V2 X S

Answer 1

L = (1/2) d v2 s CL

    L = Lift, which must equal the airplane's weight in pounds

    d = density of the air. This will change due to altitude. These values can be found in a I.C.A.O. Standard Atmosphere Table.

    v = velocity of an aircraft expressed in feet per second

     s = the wing area of an aircraft in square feet

   CL = Coefficient of lift , which is determined by the type of airfoil and angle of attack.

The angle of attack and CL are related and can be found using a Velocity Relationship Curve Graph

Answer 2

Cl is the lift coefficient

Rho is the air density

V^2 is the square of the speed

S is the reference lifting area
