is it possible to answer my question
When you lift the plane's wing in the air to 16 of the angle of attack, as what happens when the point of pressure I mean, why step up when at high angle of attack?
Please Explain to me

It is school holidays again 
The question is about angle of attack and 16 degrees.....some of these kids are getting more cunning!
I can almost here TW or Tids go *click*

Think of the wing in profile (leading edge left) as a clockface with the centre of pressure at 12.00. As you increase angle of attack it is the same as rotating the clockface clockwise and the centre of pressure moves to the the 11.00 position . That's the way I think of it . I may be wrong (probably am, my head hurts now, I'm going to bed)
......yr all fired, the bloody lot of yas!!!!
Go take up chicken farmin'!
'jaba' these kids are too smart for us
Anyway there is a heap of stuff about CP & CofG etc. To explain it all here would take more ink than my keyboard has Simply as AofA is increased CP moves forward by design & aerofoil shape & intersects the wings chordline at some stage of flight. Ideally if this occurred at the Cof G then the plane would be in perfect balance & not need a tailplane to keep balanced but aircraft never sustain any one position for too long. CP is the result of the lift drag vectors. Go Net surfing, these days everything known to mankind & some is right there at yr fingertips:-)
