Aerodynamics

Credits:
3
Prerequisites:

The course integrates scientific principles with a practical operational approach tailored for pilots. Topics include Newton`s basic equations of motion, the three forces (lift, drag, and weight) acting on a glider, and the four forces acting on a powered airplane. Given that aerodynamics encompasses both the motion of the object and the reaction of the air, the course will also cover the fundamental properties of gases and how these properties change throughout the atmosphere. Additionally, the course will address high-speed aerodynamics, including compressibility effects, shock waves, and the behavior of airflow at transonic and supersonic speeds.
