It is common as a warm front passes over an area with significant snowpack, but it is most common at sea when tropical air encounters cooler waters, including areas of cold water upwelling, such as along the coast of California.

During what phase of flight is lift the greatest?

During what phase of flight is lift the greatest?

For a commerical aeroplane: During take off. At this point the aircraft has it it's maximum weight, and accelerating in the vertical plane requiring the highest ammount of lift to counteract the weight.

What is the effect of weight on rate of descent?

What is the effect of weight on rate of descent?

To be the most efficient, aircraft descend at Vmd. Vmd increases with Weight, and therefore the rate of descent increases as well with weight.

What is dihedral?

What is dihedral?

Dihedral is the upward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
