- 1. Lets look at another thing similar to wake turbulence:
Ground Effect. Anytime an aircraft is flying there is high pressure
below the wing and lower pressure above and some of that air goes
around the wingtips destroying lift on top. But when an airplane is
a wingspan or less above the ground, the ground interferes with
that airs ability to get around the wingtip. When youre in ground
effect, some of the lift that normally would be destroyed is no
longer being destroyed and the airplane flies a little bit better.
It increases lift, reduces drag, and lowers your stalling
speed.
2. AIRPLANE LEAVING GROUND EFFECT will experience an increase in
induced drag and require more thrust. Because when you leave ground
effect you no longer have its help. 3. AIRPLANE LEAVING GROUND
EFFECT If you keep the same AOA in ground effect as out of ground
effect say on landing, lift will increase when back in ground
effect and induced drag will decrease when coming in for a for
landing. To product the same lift when out of ground effect as when
in ground effect youd have to increase the angle of attack. When
back in ground effect youd lower the AOA. 4. Knowledge Exam
