So... I am trying to understand the Angle of Attack Indicator (like this one: http://starfleetsupport.com/images/Pages/Avionics2/IMG_2417L_AOA.jpg) and I cannot seem to find a straightforward explanation anywhere on the web as to how it is measured. It goes from zero to 1 and usually has a green, yellow and red areas so as to alert the pilot when he is approaching stall.
How is that number from zero to 1 calculated? My guess is that it is [Lift currently being generated]/[Max lift] but I really have no clue
Any help is MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated!=)
