5mins to Visualize Angle of Attack | AOA String

In this video we'll show you a real visualization of what AOA or Angle of Attack actually looks like, and give you some tips to manage how the relative wind strikes your wing!

Best 5 minutes I've spent today. Love these videos!

[AkPacerPilot]

Hands down, best description and application / demonstration of angle attack.

[kns]

Thanks for the simple but effective demo!

[AeroAviation]

Interesting stuff. I remember when my CFI mentioned that it is only "to maintain altitude" was an eye opening realization to me.

[jaredfuller]

Great info, was really distracted by the awesome aircraft what is it!?

[positiverategearup]

i love this video and laughing at the same time in a good way hahaha! literal relative wind and chord line finally i get to see them in real life lol

[ervinpilot]

Very good video, perfect visualization of AOA! Something that I will show my students! One little problem - not accurate when using flaps - As flaps are lowered, the chordline (angle) changes but your reference stick attached to the aircraft does not move with the flaps, so the basic definition (AOA) is wrong it that case.

[FGCH]

Does the stall occurs at the same stick position ?

[larryphotography]

I learned that on average the stall angle in general aviation aircraft is 15 degrees. That angle was more like 20-40 the whole flight, so it is really measuring AoA accurately (if not why not?) or just showing changes?

[PartyCart]

What the heck was that yellow object at 3:09 that you almost hit? Some kid's balloon?

[cristoballozano]

So... If you don't pull the yoke while making a 60 degree turn to keep the same altitude you would have 0 G?
