| Aviation Aerodynamics - ZACM2830 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description This course builds upon the aerodynamics introduced in Introduction to Flight and focuses on the factors relevant to aircraft operations. The following topics will be treated: the equations of continuity, momentum and energy applied to fluid flow; airfoil and wing performance in subsonic and supersonic flight including drag divergence, wave drag, wing planform, aspect ratio and lift augmentation; primary and secondary effects of aircraft controls; aircraft force balance and trim; aerodynamic and mass balancing of control surfaces; effects and factors which influence flow separation; auto rotation and spins; shock stall and the area rule.
