In aerodynamics or hydrodynamic, the angle of incidence or the angle of attack is the angle that forms the chord of the profile with a fluid stream..
- For oblique plate immersed in the fluid incidence angle is the angle formed by its sides with the overall trajectory of the fluid.
- For an airfoil or spoiler, daggerboard or sail, incidence profile, is the angle formed by the profile chord related to the general path of the fluid.
the angle of incidence or attack is an important parameter in the calculation of the drag and lift..
