How to Calculate Angle of attack?
Angle of attack calculator uses Angle of Attack = atan(Velocity along yaw axis/Velocity along Roll Axis) to calculate the Angle of Attack, The Angle of attack is the angle between a reference line on a body and the vector representing the relative motion between the body and the fluid through which it is moving. Angle of Attack is denoted by α symbol.
