ASA 215 - Aerodynamics

Institution:

Lehigh Carbon Community College

Subject:

Aviation

Description:

This course introduces the student to the dynamics of flight through investigation of airfoils and shapes as they relate to aircraft structures and their interaction with the atmosphere during flight. Analysis of the physics of flight, coefficient of lift, relationship of lift/drag, aerodynamic devices, interaction of airframe/airfoils with the atmosphere during flight, low/high speed aerodynamics, mach effects, area rule, wing sweep are discussed. Aircraft performance based on powerplant type and special flight conditions experienced by commercial pilots is evaluated.
