  • 1. Lets look at another thing similar to wake turbulence: Ground Effect. Anytime an aircraft is flying there is high pressure below the wing and lower pressure above and some of that air goes around the wingtips destroying lift on top. But when an airplane is a wingspan or less above the ground, the ground interferes with that airs ability to get around the wingtip. When youre in ground effect, some of the lift that normally would be destroyed is no longer being destroyed and the airplane flies a little bit better. It increases lift, reduces drag, and lowers your stalling speed.

2. AIRPLANE LEAVING GROUND EFFECT will experience an increase in induced drag and require more thrust. Because when you leave ground effect you no longer have its help. 3. AIRPLANE LEAVING GROUND EFFECT If you keep the same AOA in ground effect as out of ground effect say on landing, lift will increase when back in ground effect and induced drag will decrease when coming in for a for landing. To product the same lift when out of ground effect as when in ground effect youd have to increase the angle of attack. When back in ground effect youd lower the AOA. 4. Knowledge Exam Questions 5.
