Lift vs. (Velocity)2

As with the previous experiment (slide 7) you will both see a change in the lift with a change in velocity by using your instrumentation. And you will record and measure the change in lift as a function of velocity. In the case of velocity the shape of the graph is parabolic (curved upward) not linear as was previously measured with angle of attack. If you plot the lift versus the square of the velocity you will again get a straight line.
