AVT 225 Aerodynamics for Aviators
Prerequisite
Students must be accepted into the Helicopter and Aviation Science Program
45 lecture hours
The purpose of this course is to present elements of applied aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering which relate directly to the problems of flying operations. Due to the increasing complexity of modern aircraft, a pilot’s natural interest in aerodynamics must be applied to develop a sound understanding of basic engineering principles and a appreciation of the more advanced problems of aerodynamics. The safety and effectiveness of flying operations will depend greatly on the understanding and appreciation of how and why an airplane flies. The principles of aerodynamics will provide the foundations for developing exacting and precise flying techniques and operational procedures.
