Foundations of Flight

Catalog description

This course discusses and provides students with the fundamentals of the physics of flight. It is designed as a practical course for those with some limited engineering expertise. From the basics of forces and vectors to aircraft-specific applications, this course explains the mechanics behind the pilot's everyday operational tasks. In addition to lectures, this course will include a practical approach understanding and practicing flight principles. As a cross-listed course, Foundations of Flight may not be taken more than once using a different letter prefix, given that only one completion will be counted toward degree requirements.
