Aerodynamic force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forces on an aerofoil.
the shear force due to the viscosity of the gas, also known
as skin friction.
Pressure acts locally, normal to the surface, and shear force acts locally, parallel to the surface. The
net aerodynamic force over the body is due to the pressure and shear forces integrated over the total
exposed area of the body.[4]
When an airfoil (or a wing) is moving relative to the air it generates an aerodynamic force, in a
rearward direction at an angle with the direction of relative motion. This aerodynamic force is
commonly resolved into two components:[5][6]
The other force acting on an aircraft during flight is its weight. Weight is a body force and is not an
aerodynamic force.
