the study of how a body reacts in a flow of wind
 |
| wing tip vortices |
aerodynamics dominate in the analysis of an iceboat's performance
- aerodynamic lift and drag of the wing
- aerodynamic drag of the body components (parasitic drag)
general links
concepts
- air properties
- laws of motion
- air flow in streamlines
- detail of aerodynamic forces
- pressure drag
- skin drag
- lift
- induced drag
