Does any 'heavy metal' use AoA gauges?
Hi learn'ed folk, I have seen several posts that suggest the universal panacea is to place the airplane in a pitch attitude of +15 degrees.
This is all very well if your original flight path is horizontal, but not so good if the flight path is -20 degrees or more.
Surely an Angle of Attack meter would be an asset, instead of the usual AI.
Do any large airplanes have these AoA gauges?
I think they may be fitted to some smaller executive jets.
After all the wing's Cl. is determined by AoA and not by Pitch Attitude.
