For Angle Of Attack we have terms and definitions in 6 topics. The topics are Airfoil, Aviation, Powerboating, Remote Control Cars, Remote Control Helicopter and Wind Energy.

Angle Of Attack (Airfoil)

Angle between the reference axis (x-axis) of an airfoil and the onset flow direction. Variable, depending of flow direction and flight condition.

Angle Of Attack (Aviation)

The acute angle at which a moving airfoil meets the airstream.

Angle Of Attack (Powerboating)

The angle between the sponson's planing surface and the surface of the water.

Angle Of Attack (Remote Control Cars)

(AOA) Refers to the angle that a surface contacts the air, usually mentioned when talking about spoilers and wings. A higher AOA helps solve oversteer but increases drag and decreases top speed. A lower AOA is used to alleviate understeer and increase top speed.

Angle Of Attack (Remote Control Helicopter)

The angle between the direction of the cord of the blades and the relative direction of the wind.

Angle Of Attack (Wind Energy)

The angle of relative air flow to the blade chord.
