  • Hey, I was wondering what is the difference between angle of attack and dihedral, from all the videos and Wikipedia sites I have been, they seem to be the exact same thing though I am sure they are not.......so what is the difference? Please don't criticize I am new to this stuff............

  • @1Abdilatif1 You're in luck! I've covered anhedral/dihedral in the equally exciting video number 10 covering the thrilling world of aircraft stabiity. I warn you now, there is a falling sperm whale in it - please ensure you're adequately prepared for Cetacea genocide. The part you're interested in is at 5:49 (can't link to it because of YouTube anti-spam measures, but go to my channel page and click number 10!). Hope that helps.

  • Even though Im a girl I wish so badly to be on an airplane someday! Thx for the video, it is great *-*

  • ailerons dont increase AOA, they increase the camber, which increases lift

  • Freaking BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LMFAO, I spent 3 hours in a flight school and was so overwhelmed by all the useless info. this is so much more to the point and because it's funny I'm entertained by it. Your better then my instructor! LOL I love the Concorde joke :P

  • U r +Z

  • UR THE BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST TEACHER.....THX ALOT..

  • u r the best teacher i ever had !!

  • you should go pro

    you will do good

    keep it up

    god bless you

  • "not floating 6 feets to the right of the aircraft" - LOL...thats a good one.

  • Oh god I can't keep watching it, its good but if I go and write a test after taking ground school Ill probably burst out laughing

  • you should study the Aileron Relative to Roll and know the effect over the roll rate after moving the Aileron one degree and study it , then you'll get a relative equation between Roll and Aileron Move.. then you'll know how many degrees you need to move the aileron to gain your desired Roll

  • dude, you're a genius! it's not easy to explain things this well. not to mention, hilarious. thanks soooooo much!!!

  • I love your videos! they are so useful and nice explained :)

  • how can I calculate the CL in the lift formula ?
