The angle between the relative wind and the longitudinal datum line on the fuselage is called as?

A)
Glide angle
B)
Relative angle
C)
Flight path angle
D)
Angle of attack

Correct Answer :   Angle of attack


Explanation : Angle of attack is the angle, in the normally vertical plane of symmetry of the aircraft, at which the relative wind meets an arbitrary longitudinal datum line on the fuselage. Angle of attack, is important as it corresponds to the amount of lift produced and the dangerous condition of stall.
