Let's talk about what afterburners are, when they're used, and how they work. In my first 'In a Nutshell' video, I'm testing the waters on giving simplified explanations for complicated topics. Let me know what you think.

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.

Its extremely important to understand the assumptions used to derive an equation. This video goes over the assumptions we will be using for the Taylor-Maccoll conical flow problem, and the impact each assumption will have later on in the derivation.")
