Description
This course delves into the principles of aerodynamic forces and their impact on aircraft performance and limitations. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, including longitudinal, lateral, and directional stability and control, as well as low-speed and high-speed aerodynamics. The course also explores how these principles relate to transport design characteristics. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have a solid understanding of aerodynamic principles and their application in the field of aviation. They will be able to analyze and interpret aerodynamic forces and their effects on aircraft performance, stability, control, and design, preparing them for further study or roles within the aerospace industry. Prerequisite: MATH 150 or PHY 151 or instructor consent.
