Aerodynamics and Aircraft Perf

Catalog description

In this course, students will explore the fundamental principles of airplane aerodynamics and aircraft performance. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how forces such as lift, weight, thrust, and drag influence flight. Students will analyze aircraft stability, control, and the performance characteristics of various aircraft types, including low and high-speed aerodynamics. This prepares students for the unique challenges faced by aircraft designers and understanding the reasons for aircraft design.
