Angle of Attack迎角
Angle of attack is the angle between the wing chord line and the oncoming airflow, measured in degrees; it is a key aerodynamic parameter rather than a direct measure of aircraft attitude. In flight manuals, flight training documentation, and flight control system descriptions, the term appears in aerodynamics discussions, stall awareness, approach speed guidance, and performance planning to explain how lift and stall margins change with load and configuration.

Where this term appears
In localization, angle of attack appears in flight training courses, stall recovery procedures, flight manual performance sections, and avionics descriptions for stall warning or fly-by-wire systems. It also occurs in accident investigation reports and simulator software. Translators must distinguish angle of attack from pitch attitude, especially in pilot-facing text where confusing the two can affect stall recovery understanding.
Translation checks
A common error is translating angle of attack as "攻角" with military connotations when the text is civil aviation, or as "俯仰角" and "仰角" in pilot documentation. Angle of attack is not the same as pitch attitude or climb angle. This confusion can distort stall warning information, flight manual limitations, and training content.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
