How to choose a wing?
A softer wing will perform better on its low end and in lighter winds. A stiffer wing like the STRIKE will provide better performances, an increased upwind angle, unmatched speed, as well as a better pop and hangtime. A stiffer wing will perform better on its high end and in stronger winds. High Wing: More stable for smoother navigation. Low Wing: Slightly more responsive and agile.
What are the 4 laws of aerodynamics?
Aerodynamics even acts on cars, since air flows around cars. The four forces of flight are lift, weight, thrust and drag. These forces make an object move up and down, and faster or slower. The principle of flight is made up of four fundamental forces: lift, weight, drag, and thrust. These forces work together in a delicate balance to determine an aircraft’s trajectory, with lift and weight opposing each other and thrust and drag doing the same.
What are the three types of wings?
Low wing: mounted near or below the bottom of the fuselage. Mid wing: mounted approximately halfway up the fuselage. Shoulder wing: mounted on the upper part or shoulder of the fuselage, slightly below the top of the fuselage. Mid wing: mounted approximately halfway up the fuselage. Shoulder wing: mounted on the upper part or shoulder of the fuselage, slightly below the top of the fuselage. A shoulder wing is sometimes considered a subtype of high wing. High wing: mounted on the upper fuselage.
