How to Calculate Angle of attack?
Angle of attack calculator uses Angle of Attack = atan(Velocity Along Yaw Axis/Velocity Along Roll Axis) to calculate the Angle of Attack, Angle of Attack is a measure of the angle between the oncoming airflow and the direction of motion of an object, such as an airfoil or wing, which affects the lift and drag forces acting on the object. Angle of Attack is denoted by α symbol.
