In-Flight Safety » Page 3Why Load Factors Matter to Critical Angle of Attack Load factor describes the ratio of lift an aircraft must produce compared to its weight. In straight-and-level, unaccelerated flight, that load factor is 1G. However,
In-Flight Safety » Page 3Discover the Critical Angle of Attack The critical angle of attack is the maximum angle between the wing’s chord line and the relative wind at which lift can be maintained. When this angle is
