    Lifting Line Theory and Helmholtz theorems

    I was reasoning about prandtl's lifting line theory. Now, a lot of books state that if the the circulation changes across the bound vortex filament a vortex sheet of the same intensity must be shed from the filament following the wake. Is this a consequence of the helmolzt theorem that forbids...

    Does Manouvering Speed Change with Aircraft Weight?

    The stress generated by the aerodynamic forces on the aircraft is independent of the weight of the airplane, i.e. : the lift generated by the wing depends only on speed, density surface and angle of attack and it's independent of weight. The only thing that changes when the weight varies it's...

    Does Manouvering Speed Change with Aircraft Weight?

    Given an aircraft with a fixed MTOW and a maximum load factor of 6 g's. Let's assume that the Manouvering Speed is 120 Knots. Does it change with the actual weight of the airplane? The manouvering speed is the stall speed at the maximum load factor, in this case the maximum speed at six times...
