Repülgépszárny

Repülgépszárny is a Hungarian term that translates to "airplane wing" in English. It refers to the airfoil-shaped surfaces that are attached to the fuselage of an aircraft and are responsible for generating lift. The design of a repülgépszárny is crucial for an aircraft's performance, affecting its speed, maneuverability, and stability.

The shape of a repülgépszárny is typically asymmetrical, with a curved upper surface and a flatter lower surface. This curvature causes air to travel faster over the top of the wing than the bottom. According to Bernoulli's principle, faster-moving air exerts less pressure than slower-moving air, resulting in a net upward force known as lift. This lift counteracts the aircraft's weight, allowing it to fly.

Repülgépszárnyak can vary significantly in size, shape, and configuration depending on the type of aircraft and its intended purpose. For instance, commercial airliners often have long, slender wings optimized for fuel efficiency at high altitudes. Fighter jets, on the other hand, may have swept-back wings designed for high-speed flight and agility. Other types include delta wings, parasol wings, and biplane wings, each with its own aerodynamic characteristics.

The construction of a repülgépszárny involves a strong internal structure, often made of metal alloys or composite materials, covered by an outer skin. Various control surfaces, such as ailerons, flaps, and spoilers, are integrated into the wing to allow the pilot to control the aircraft's roll, pitch, and altitude. These surfaces modify the airflow over the wing, thus altering the lift and drag forces.
