PILT 2250 - Aerodynamics

3 Credit(s)

Practical application of the laws of physics relating to aerodynamics in flight. Specific topics covered include the forces of flight as applied to airplanes and helicopters; weight and balance; stability and control; calculation of stall speed; fundamentals of low, transonic, and supersonic flight; aircraft design and testing; aircraft performance requirements; performance of aircraft powered by reciprocating, turboprop, and jet turbine engines; special flight conditions often experienced by commercial pilots of fixed-wing aircraft; and changes in configuration.
