JoshTheEngineer | Explained: Angle of Attack [Airplanes] @JoshTheEngineer | Uploaded March 2014 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The angle of attack (AoA) is one of the most important parameters when studying how planes fly. By definition, it is the angle between some reference line of the plane (in our case the chord line of the wing) and the relative wind. The AoA will be vital when talking about lift curves and how wings generate lift.
