## Aviation Glossary (top 100 terms with definitions)

### Angle of Attack (AoA)
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind. As AoA increases, lift increases up to the critical angle of attack, beyond which the wing stalls. Understanding AoA is fundamental to safe flight.

### Lift
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/lift
Definition: The aerodynamic force perpendicular to the relative wind generated by an airfoil. Lift is produced by the pressure differential between the upper and lower surfaces of a wing as air flows over it.

### Drag
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/drag
Definition: The aerodynamic force opposing the motion of an aircraft through the air. Drag has two main components: parasite drag (form, skin friction, interference) and induced drag (a byproduct of lift generation).

### Parasite Drag
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/parasite-drag
Definition: Drag not associated with lift production, including form drag from the aircraft shape, skin friction drag from air moving over surfaces, and interference drag where components meet. Parasite drag increases with the square of airspeed.

### Induced Drag
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: Drag created as a byproduct of lift generation, caused by wingtip vortices deflecting the airflow downward. Induced drag decreases as airspeed increases and is greatest at high angles of attack and low speeds.

### Stall
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/stall
Definition: An aerodynamic condition where the critical angle of attack is exceeded and the airflow separates from the upper wing surface, causing a sudden loss of lift. Stalls can occur at any airspeed, attitude, or power setting.

### Stall Speed
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/stall-speed
Definition: The minimum speed at which an aircraft can maintain level flight at a given weight and configuration. Stall speed increases with weight, bank angle, and load factor, and decreases with flap extension.

### Spin
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: An aggravated stall where the aircraft autorotates about its vertical axis while descending in a helical path. A spin occurs when one wing is more deeply stalled than the other, creating asymmetric lift.

### Spin Recovery
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/spin-recovery
Definition: The procedure to recover from a spin, typically involving: power idle, ailerons neutral, full opposite rudder to the direction of rotation, then forward elevator to break the stall. The PARE acronym is commonly used.

### Bernoulli Principle
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/bernoulli-principle
Definition: A principle stating that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its static pressure decreases. Applied to airfoils, the faster airflow over the curved upper surface creates lower pressure than the slower flow beneath, contributing to lift.

### Relative Wind
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/relative-wind
Definition: The direction of airflow relative to the aircraft, which is equal and opposite to the flight path. The relative wind determines the angle of attack and is not necessarily aligned with the aircraft longitudinal axis.

### Center of Gravity (CG)
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/center-of-gravity
Definition: The point at which an aircraft would balance if suspended. CG position affects stability, control authority, and stall characteristics. It must remain within specified forward and aft limits for safe flight.

### Center of Pressure (CP)
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: The point on an airfoil where the total aerodynamic force is considered to act. Unlike the center of gravity, the center of pressure moves with changes in angle of attack.

### Aspect Ratio
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: The ratio of wingspan to mean chord. High aspect ratio wings (long and narrow) produce less induced drag and are more efficient at low speeds, while low aspect ratio wings are better for maneuverability and high-speed flight.

### Chord
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/chord
Definition: The straight-line distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge of an airfoil. The mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) is used as a reference for center of gravity calculations.

### Camber
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/camber
Definition: The curvature of an airfoil, specifically the asymmetry between the upper and lower surfaces. Greater camber increases maximum lift coefficient but also increases drag. Symmetric airfoils have zero camber.

### Airfoil
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: The cross-sectional shape of a wing, blade, or sail designed to produce aerodynamic force when moving through air. Different airfoil profiles are optimized for various flight regimes and purposes.

### Boundary Layer
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: The thin layer of air immediately adjacent to an aircraft surface where friction slows the airflow. The boundary layer can be laminar (smooth) or turbulent, affecting drag and flow separation characteristics.

### Wingtip Vortex
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: A circular airflow pattern created at the wingtips where high-pressure air below the wing curls around to the low-pressure area above. These vortices create wake turbulence hazardous to following aircraft.

### Winglet
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: A vertical or angled extension at the wingtip that reduces induced drag by weakening wingtip vortices. Winglets can improve fuel efficiency by 3-5% on modern transport aircraft.

### Dihedral
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/dihedral
Definition: The upward angle of an aircraft wing from root to tip when viewed from the front. Dihedral provides lateral stability by creating a restoring roll moment when the aircraft is displaced from wings-level flight.

### Washout
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/washout
Definition: A design feature where the wing is twisted so the angle of incidence decreases from root to tip. This ensures the wing root stalls before the tip, maintaining aileron effectiveness during stalls.

### Ground Effect
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/ground-effect
Definition: A condition of increased lift and decreased drag experienced when flying close to the ground (within one wingspan height). Caused by reduced wingtip vortices and downwash near the surface.

### Adverse Yaw
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: The tendency of an aircraft to yaw in the opposite direction of a roll input. Caused by the raised aileron creating more drag than the lowered aileron. Corrected with coordinated rudder input.

### P-Factor (P-factor)
Category: aerodynamics
URL: https://rotatepilot.com/glossary/p-factor
Definition: Asymmetric propeller thrust that causes yaw, most noticeable at high power and high angle of attack. The descending propeller blade produces more thrust than the ascending blade due to its greater effective angle of attack.

### Torque Effect
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: The reaction force to propeller rotation that tends to roll the aircraft in the opposite direction of propeller rotation. In most single-engine aircraft, this means a left-rolling tendency requiring right aileron correction.

### Dutch Roll
Category: aerodynamics
Definition: An oscillatory motion combining yaw and roll, common in swept-wing aircraft with strong dihedral effect. A yaw damper is typically installed on transport aircraft to suppress this tendency.

### Mach Number
Category: aerodynamics

### Elevator
Category: aerodynamics
