What is the correct angle of attack for the airplane to fly if the CL is 0.33? Remember that the angle of attack is the angle the airplane needs to rotate its nose upward to achieve the best and most efficient flow of air around its wings. This is also called the pitch angle of the airplane.

HINT: Given the Coefficient of Lift, use the chart above to determine the correct angle of attack for the airplane.


A) 1.8o

B) 3.0o

C) 1.0o

D) 2.0o
