Airplane Aerodynamics

Catalog description

This course studies the physical principles of airplane aerodynamics. Course involves examining the factors affecting aircraft performance, stability and control, and special flight conditions often experienced by commercial pilots of fixed-wing aircraft. Emphasized is stall/spin awareness and recovery, and commercial aircraft design and construction issues. This course will deal primarily with low speed aerodynamics or incompressible flow; includes a section on high-speed aerodynamics toward the end of the course.
