Answer
- D The angle between the chord line and the oncoming air
Explanation
The angle of attack is the angle between the chord line and the direction of the undisturbed airflow. It largely determines lift. The angle between the longitudinal axis and the horizon is the pitch attitude, and the fixed installation angle of the wing relative to the fuselage is the angle of incidence.
