Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to enable the students to learn basic aerodynamic concepts and rules. Students will then have knowledge of atmospheric physics, free and relative air flow, vortices, veteran, drag, pressure center, angle of attack, trust, stall, creep rate, flight stability and dynamics.
Course Content: Atmospheric physics, air flow around an object, pushing, weight, aerodynamic composition, profile accumulations such as ice, snow and frost, flight theory, flight stability and dynamics.
