Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space | | Dutch term or phrase: stijgkoppel | Hello all,
Different from insurances etc, this time it's
to do with aerodynamics, space, airplanes and Newton. The sentence is: "De draagkracht compenseert dus niet langer de zwaartekracht waardoor er een stijgkoppel ontstaat en de neus van het vliegtuig steeds naar boven gericht wordt".
Ta very much |

| | (wing)lift | Explanation:
"koppel" means here "couple=force (couple)"
Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air. Lift is generated by every part of the airplane, but most of the lift on a normal airliner is generated by the wings
Wing design often proceeds by selecting a desirable wing lift distribution and then finding the geometry that achieves this distribution.
