At any sufficiently downward-inclined flight-path angle, there is some angle of attack at which the forward pressures acting on the wing and the backward ones on the rest of the airframe are in ...

When it enters that later portion, its flight path angle gets fixed and the vehicle just descends, and is barely affected by the direction of the wind," El-Kebir said.

If the lift-off airspeed had been maintained (without further acceleration), the airplane should have been able to achieve a flight path angle (훾) between 6° and 8°, which would have been ...

The most obvious is changing its flight path to bend down toward the atmosphere, ... Apollo, SpaceX Dragon, and Boeing CST-100 all use bank angle just like an airplane does to turn, ...
