Inclination Effects on Lift. As a wing moves through the air, the wing is inclined to the flight direction at some angle. The angle between the chord line and the flight direction is called the angle of attack and has a large effect on the lift generated by a wing.

How does angle of attack affect lift and drag?
A higher angle of attack has an increase of both lift and drag.
What are six factors that affect the amount of lift produced by an airfoil?
Airfoil shape and design Angle of attack Airfoil size (chord length) Air density Airspeed Surface roughness and cleanliness
What doesnt affect the amount of lift on an airplanes wing?
The best way to answer this question would be to say what does effect the lift of a wing. Pretty much the only things that effect the lift of a wing are the density of the air over the wing, the surface area of the wing, the speed of air over the wing and the angle of attack. Everything else has no effect on the amount of lift on a wing.
What is the point at which lift starts to drop off?
This is termed the Critical Angle of Attack and represents a maximum in the Lift Coefficient vs. Angle of Attack curve. If the angle of attack is increased beyond this point, the wing will stall. For most airfoils, the critical angle of attack is around 15 deg. For swept back wings it is typically higher.
What is the angle between the airplanes wing and the direction of airflow called?
The angle between the airplane's wing and the direction of airflow is called the angle of attack. This angle is important for generating lift and controlling the aircraft's flight.
What is the difference between angle of attack and positive angle of attack?
Angle of attack may be negative or positive - it's simply the angle between the wing chord line and the oncoming airflow. If it's positive then the aircraft will benefit from the lift that is provided, if it's negative then there is no lift (but there's still drag). This is a potentially dangerous situation, unless you wish your aircraft to descend.
What are the three major factors that can change the velocity and pressure of air flow around a wing and thus increase the amount of lift?
words
What three things are needed for flight?
Differences in air pressure, an angle of attack, and lift
How to convert Normal Force lbf to Lift lbf?
Lift lbf = (Normal force lbf) x (cosine of angle of attack)
2. What are three major factors that can change the velocity and pressure of air flow around a wing and thus increase the amount of lift?
Angle of attack: Increasing the angle of attack of the wing can increase lift by creating more lift-producing airflow over the wing. Airspeed: Higher airspeed results in increased flow velocity over the wing, generating more lift. Aircraft weight: Lighter aircraft require less lift, while heavier aircraft need more lift, influencing the pressure and airflow around the wing.
What two conditions normally cause an increase in lift?
increased angle of attack and increased speed
What are three major factors that can change the velocity and pressure of air flow around a wing and thus increase the amount of lift?
Increasing angle of attack, increasing airspeed, and using airfoil shape optimized for lift can all change the velocity and pressure of air flow around a wing, ultimately increasing the amount of lift generated.
