Module 8

MODULE 8. BASIC AERODYNAMICS
8.1 Physics of the Atmosphere
      International Standard Atmosphere (ISA), application to aerodynamics.
8.2 Aerodynamics
      Airflow around a body;
      Boundary layer, laminar and turbulent flow, free stream flow, relative airflow, upwash and                    
      downwash, vortices, stagnation;
     The terms: camber, chord, mean aerodynamic chord, profile (parasite) drag, induced drag,
      centre of pressure, angle of attack, wash in and wash out, fineness ratio,
      wing shape and aspect ratio;
    Thrust, Weight, Aerodynamic Resultant;
    Generation of Lift and Drag: Angle of Attack, Lift coefficient,
    Drag coefficient, polar curve, stall;
    Aerofoil contamination including ice, snow, frost.
8.3 Theory of Flight
      Relationship between lift, weight, thrust and drag;
      Glide ratio;
      Steady state flights, performance;
      Theory of the turn;
      Influence of load factor: stall, flight envelope and structural limitations;
      Lift augmentation.
8.4 Flight Stability and Dynamics
      Longitudinal, lateral and directional stability (active and passive).
