Bank-to-turn....Just to help your good explanation of "Alpha" on most typical commercial aircraft the "Vanes" used to aerodynamically identify AOA used to be called AOA "sensors" or "vanes'...now just refered to as "Alpha" vanes or sensors.....they are strategically placed along the nose section of the fuse to reference WL or( center of Fuse)to the relative airflow....used for stall warning info and "auto" slat extension during "imminent" stall conditions....Also the slats on the A-10 could very well be needed in high "G" manuevers to keep Fuselage from "blanking" out airflow to the engines......Bill....
