About This Course

In this course, you will discover how lift and drag vary with changes in angle of attack, and how this relationship impacts overall flight efficiency.

You will learn to interpret lift/drag ratio curves, identify the AOA that delivers the highest aerodynamic efficiency (typically around 4 degrees), and understand how airspeed plays a role in this balance. By mastering these principles, you will be equipped to make informed decisions in flight operations, whether optimizing for fuel economy, climb performance, or cruise efficiency.
