If describing a force instead of saying "higher angle of attack" is horrible, I think weŽll have to burn all the books about aerodynamics on earth...

Anyways, if you read the title with attention youŽll realize that IŽm talking about wings without geometric dihedral. In other words, in case of sideslip, why does the downgoing wing have a higher angle of attack?

I understand this scenario when we have an aircraft with physical dihedral, however, It seems that "I donŽt see" the vectors involved when it comes to an aircraft without dihedral.
