Principles of flight question
can anyone help me with this Principles of flight question please?
as forward flight increases, when moving from the hover, in level flight:
a) transistional lift will reduce
b) induced drag will reduce
c) induced flow will increase.
i know that transitional lift drecrease after about 50 kts, but during transistion, the collective is lowered slightly which i beleive decreases the Angle of attack which in turn increase the induce flow. or is it that the molecules flow decreases at increasing speed which should reduce the induced drag?
or am i totally lossing the plot?
any help much appreciated. thank you
