nthe plane of symmetry and fixed with the machine. In general, this reference is made to the wing chord (Fig. ELEMENTS OF AERODYNAMICS 89 73), and i is called the angle of incidence; as to the force ofdrift, usually the study of its law of variation is made bykeeping constant the angle i between… … Summarizing, the study of components R^, R^, and Rs,is usually made in the following manner: 1. To study i?x and Rs, considering them as functionsof the angle of incidence i. 2. To study Rs by considering it as a function of theangle of drift 5. For the study of the air reactions on a body…
