Angle of Incidence

The angle of incidence is the angle between the aircraft's longitudinal axis and the chord of the wing.

The angle of incidence is the angle between the aircraft's longitudinal axis and the chord of the wing.

The angle of incidence is the angle at which the wing is fixed to the aircraft's fuselage. It is the angle formed by the chord of the airfoil and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.This longitudinal axis of the aircraft is the imaginary line drawn through the fuselage from the front of the aircraft to the rear of the aircraft.
