Hello,
i am wondering a situation; how does the thrust occur in pitching and plunging motions?
thank you for reply.

hmd said:Dear SteamKing,
ımm, how i can explain.. my supervisor asked me this question: " how could you ensure 'thrust' in plunging and pitching motions?" ...i investigated but i cannot find proper answer..
RandomGuy88 said:Are you asking "How can you ensure an airfoil will produce thrust when it is pitching and plunging?"
hmd said:Yes RandomGuy88 that is the true question ;), and so what is the answer, could you help me?

I am a master degree student in mechanical engineering department, this is my term project.
Thrust in pitching and plunging refers to the force generated by an aircraft's engine that propels it forward or upward. It is a critical component of flight and is necessary for an aircraft to maintain its speed and altitude.
Thrust is created in an aircraft by the engine, which uses fuel to produce hot gases that are then expelled at high speeds through the back of the engine. This action creates a reaction force in the opposite direction, propelling the aircraft forward or upward.
There are several factors that can affect thrust, including the type and size of the engine, the amount of fuel being burned, the altitude and air density, and the angle of attack of the aircraft. These factors can impact the amount of thrust generated by the engine.
Thrust is typically measured in pounds (lbs) or newtons (N) and is quantified using a thrust meter or a device called a thrust dynamometer. These tools can accurately measure the amount of thrust being produced by an aircraft's engine.
Thrust and speed have a direct relationship, meaning that as thrust increases, speed also increases. This is because the force generated by thrust is what propels the aircraft forward, allowing it to travel at higher speeds. Inversely, if thrust decreases, speed will also decrease.
