Description
Fundamentals
of aerodynamics and fluid flow concepts for developing fixed
wing and rotary wing aircraft performance. Twodimensional
aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils and their application
in both airplane and helicopter design. Means for augmenting
lift and the effects of various types of high lift devices
on the aerodynamic characteristics. Aerodynamics of finite
aspect ratio wings leading to the fundamentals of airplane
performance calculation. Theory of helicopter hovering and
vertical flight including autorotation and the aerodynamic
behavior of the rotor and helicopter in forward flight. Introduction
to airplane and helicopter stability.
