Due to a rising gust, what will happen to the angle of attack?
- Tend to decrease.
- Stay the same.
- Tend to increase.
Explanation from PART66Online
A rising gust adds an upward component to the air arriving at the wing, so the relative airflow is tilted upward at the leading edge. Angle of attack is measured between the chord line and the relative airflow, so that tilt increases the effective angle of attack for as long as the gust acts. The momentary increase is what raises the lift and the load factor, and a gust strong enough can carry the wing past its stalling angle.
