Credits:
2

This course introduces students to fundamental aerodynamic principles and theories, emphasizing their practical applications. It covers the use of performance charts to estimate key flight parameters such as cruise, range, endurance, and takeoff and landing performance. Students will learn about power and thrust requirements, principles of aircraft loading, and design characteristics of various airplane categories, with a focus on the need for economically efficient air transportation. The course also includes an introduction to essential flight instruments and their role in aircraft performance and navigation. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of how aerodynamic principles are applied in real-world aviation scenarios, enabling them to estimate and optimize aircraft performance effectively.
