2. Aerodynamic center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamic_center

   = where is the aircraft lift coefficient. The lift and drag forces can be applied at a single point, the center of pressure. However, the location of the center of pressure moves significantly with a change in angle of attack and is thus impractical for aerodynamic analysis.

3. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

   Lift is proportional to the density of the air and approximately proportional to the square of the flow speed. Lift also depends on the size of the wing, being generally proportional to the wing's area projected in the lift direction. In calculations it is convenient to quantify lift in terms of a lift coefficient based on these factors.

4. Kutta–Joukowski theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutta–Joukowski_theorem

   The Kutta–Joukowski theorem is a fundamental theorem in aerodynamics used for the calculation of lift of an airfoil (and any two-dimensional body including circular cylinders) translating in a uniform fluid at a constant speed so large that the flow seen in the body-fixed frame is steady and unseparated.

5. William P. Hobby Airport - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_P._Hobby_Airport

   Hobby was initially closed after the opening of Houston Intercontinental; however, it was re-opened after several years, and became a secondary airport for domestic airline service, and a center for corporate and private aviation. Houston Hobby is an operating base for Southwest Airlines, which has international and domestic flights from HOU ...

6. Ground effect (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_(aerodynamics)

   Suckdown is the result of entrainment of air around aircraft by lift jets when hovering. It also occurs in free air (OGE) causing loss of lift by reducing pressures on the underside of the fuselage and wings. Enhanced entrainment occurs when close to the ground giving higher lift loss. Fountain lift occurs when an aircraft has two or more lift ...

7. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

   In fluid dynamics, the lift coefficient (C L) is a dimensionless quantity that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity and an associated reference area. A lifting body is a foil or a complete foil-bearing body such as a fixed-wing aircraft.

9. Elevator (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_(aeronautics)

   The elevator is a usable up and down system that controls the plane, horizontal stabilizer usually creates a downward force which balances the nose down moment created by the wing lift force, which typically applies at a point (the wing center of lift) situated aft of the airplane's center of gravity.
