Lifting-line Theory - Rolling Wings

Rolling Wings

When the aircraft is rolling, and additional term may be added that will add the wing station distance multiplied by the rate of roll to give additional angle of attack change. Equation 3 will then become

where

  • is the rate of roll in rad/sec,

Note that y can be negative. This addition will introduce non-zero even coefficients in the equation which will have to accounted for.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or wings:

    The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a game, a wheel rolling on its own, a prime movement, a sacred Yes.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)
