While many believe that down-pull blinds are simply more susceptible to turbulence or heavy landings, making them more likely to simply drop down, there is an even more logical explanation than this. This again is a safety feature, but one which has traditionally been misinterpreted.

Proper AOA management affects lift generation and stall prevention. It is one of the main factors affecting lift, and airplanes need a constant source of lift to fly. As we stated a little while ago, understanding the angle of attack is fundamental to understanding aerodynamics and how lift is generated.

Aerodynamic Differences Fixed-Wing Aircraft (Airplanes) Airplanes , or fixed-wing aircraft, generate lift through their stationary wings as they move forward. This pressure difference produces lift, allowing the aircraft to ascend. Each rotor blade acts as an airfoil, and as it rotates, it moves air over its surface, generating lift.

They’re routinely reviewing pilot reports and asking Air Traffic Control (ATC) for reports of turbulence, and they’ll go so far as to change their route of flight or altitude fairly dramatically to find smooth air. Strong winds by themselves don’t necessarily mean turbulence, but gusty winds almost always do.

When humid air becomes unstable, either through heating from the surface or by lifting it to where it is warmer than its surroundings, it can produce cumulus clouds that grow vertically instead of horizontally. When they appear in rows, it is a sign of waves moving through the upper air – and the presence of turbulence.

Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. When the lift force is less than the force of gravity, the aircraft descends. So, how do we increase lift to maintain altitude? Why does this happen?

The outer wing generates more lift than the inner wing since it’s temporarily moving faster. Extra lift makes the wing rise. Increased lift on the raised wing immediately creates more induced drag. The trigger can be any external force such as a wind gust or turbulence. How Does Roll Cause Yaw? What’s induced drag?

Environmental Factors Turbulence Severe turbulence can cause disruption to an aircraft’s flight. In some cases, the aircraft may lose control due to the severity of the turbulence. Icing Icing on the aerofoil disrupts the smooth airflow over the wings that produce lift. This may lead to an unusual attitude.

This creates boundary layer separation, resulting in a loss of lift. The turbulent air hits the horizontal stabilizer, which causes a vibration that can be felt throughout the aircraft.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift. Bad data caused by turbulence, turns, and other anomalies was discarded.
