Summary
DescriptionSail angles of attack and resulting flow patterns.jpg
English: Hypothetical examples of sail angles of attack and resulting flow patterns for attache flow, maximum lift, and stalled. VA is the apparent wind vector. Stagnation streamlines delineate air that goes to the leeward side from that on the windward side of the sail.
