6. Aerodynamic Forces in Flight Maneuvers Stalls In a turn, additional lift is acquired by applying back pressure to the elevator control. This increases the wing’s AOA, and results in increased lift.

7. Aerodynamic Forces in Flight Maneuvers Stalls If during a turn the AOA becomes excessive, the aircraft stalls.

9. Aerodynamic Forces in Flight Maneuvers Stalls To balance the aircraft aerodynamically, the CL is normally located aft of the CG. This makes the aircraft inherently nose-heavy, downwash on the horizontal stabilizer counteracts this condition.

22. Torque and P-Factor “Torque” (the left turning tendency of the airplane) is made up of elements which cause or produce a twisting or rotating motion around at least one of the airplane’s three axes.

23. Torque and P-Factor The elements are: 1. Torque reaction from engine and propeller, 2. Corkscrewing effect of the slipstream, 3. Asymmetric loading of the propeller (P- factor).

24. Torque Reaction The internal engine parts and propeller are revolving in one direction, an equal force is trying to rotate the aircraft in the opposite direction.

25. Torque Reaction When the aircraft is airborne, this force is acting around the longitudinal axis, tending to make the aircraft roll.

26. Torque Reaction NOTE: Most United States built aircraft engines rotate the propeller clockwise, as viewed from the pilot’s seat.

27. Torque Reaction When the aircraft’s wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, an additional turning moment around the vertical axis is induced by torque reaction. The takeoff roll is corrected by the pilot’s use of the rudder or rudder trim.

28. Corkscrew Effect The high-speed rotation of an aircraft propeller gives a corkscrew or spiraling rotation to the slipstream.

29. Corkscrew Effect At high propeller speeds and low forward speed (as in the takeoffs and approaches to power- on stalls), this spiraling rotation is very compact and exerts a strong sideward force on the aircraft’s vertical tail surface.

30. Corkscrew Effect When this spiraling slipstream strikes the vertical fin it causes a turning moment about the aircraft’s vertical axis. The more compact the spiral, the more prominent this force is.

31. Corkscrew Effect As the forward speed increases, however, the spiral elongates and becomes less effective.

32. Corkscrew Effect It is the pilot’s responsibility to apply proper corrective action by use of the flight controls at all times. These forces must be counteracted regardless of which is the most prominent at the time.

33. Asymmetric Loading (P-Factor) When an aircraft is flying with a high AOA, the “bite” of the downward moving blade is greater than the “bite” of the upward moving blade.

34. Asymmetric Loading (P-Factor) This moves the center of thrust to the right of the prop disc area, causing a yawing moment toward the left around the vertical axis.

35. Asymmetric Loading (P-Factor) Since the propeller blade is an airfoil, increased velocity means increased lift. The downswinging blade has more lift and tends to pull (yaw) the aircraft’s nose to the left.

36. Summary To maintain positive control of the aircraft in all flight conditions, the pilot must apply the flight controls as necessary to compensate for these varying values.
