In a *slipping*, *descending* turn, what is the effect on the angle of attack, if any?

Answer - it increases, if the *original airspeed is maintained.

Mike,
"Answer - it increases, if the *original airspeed is maintained."
That is correct if the airplane has a "-Clâ" rolling moment due to slde slip; if its + then the aoa will decrease. Of course I don't know of any real airplanes with a positive Clâ.:D
Dick Huang:)
Clâ should be Cl(beta).
