Angle of Attack

Angle of attack is a technical term in fluid or aero dynamics. It is the angle between certain structure fitted with the object that passes through the surrounding undisturbed flow of gas or liquid. For example, in case of aerodynamics, the angle of attack is the angle between the chord of an airfoil and the direction of the air through which it passes. Such an angle is used to manipulate the airplane or any other type of aircraft.
