Aerodynamics

Catalog description

This course covers incompressible flow theory and wing theory as well as calculations of stall speed, drag, and basic performance criteria. This course also examines configuration changes, high and low speed conditions, and special flight operations. Stability and control, weight and balance, and operational data are also examined. Aerodynamic performance of aircraft powered by reciprocating, turboprop, and jet turbine engines are considered. The student will be introduced to aircraft design and high-speed aerodynamics.
