航空专业英语 Flight Theory 静态飞行.pptxVIP

3.1 Static flight ;Whenever the airplane is flying at a constant airspeed along a steady flight path(a steady climb,a steady descent,or straight and level), it is in static flight conditions.;In static flight the opposing forces on the airplane are balanced:that is ,lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.;Whenever an airplane is turning,changing the speed,or changing the rate of climb,or descent, the opposing forces are not balanced.;However,under any changing condition the airplane is always attempting to equalize the opposing forces and return to static flight.
