14.7: Sideslip Angle

This function is intended for trials concerning the sideslip angle. Sideslipping can be caused by a gust. A sideslip flight changes the lift distribution and hence the moment balance of the airplane.
Click into the input field 'Sideslip Angle [°]' to enter the desired value. The dimensional unit for entered data is 'degree' [°].
Near the input field are Up/Down-buttons located. They can be used to change the sideslip angle with mouse clicks.
A click on the right mouse button pops up a menu to set the increment between 0.00001° and 1°.



The following pictures show a delta wing.

Sideslip angle 0°.


Sideslip angle 15°.
