With a trailing edge flap being lowered, due to rising gusts, what will happen to the angle of attack?
- Tend to decrease.
- Stay the same.
- Tend to increase.
Explanation
A rising gust adds an upward component to the relative airflow, which tilts the airflow up at the leading edge. Since angle of attack is measured between the chord and the relative airflow, this upward gust increases the effective angle of attack. Lowering the flap at the same time further raises the lift, compounding the gust effect.
