Course Description
Aircraft Forces and Subsystems: The atmosphere, aerodynamic forces, propulsion subsystem. Turbojets-Level Flight in the Vertical Plane: Governing equations, level flight, ceiling, cruise flight and range, maximum endurance. Other Flights in the Vertical Plane: Take-off and landing, climbing flight, unpowered flight. Turning Flight in the Horizontal Plane: Governing equations, maximum load factor, bank angle, turning rate and turning radius. Piston-Props-Level Flight in the Vertical Plane: Governing equations, level flight and ceiling conditions, best range, maximum endurance. Other Flight: Take-off and landing, climbing flight, turning flight, turboprobs, turbofans, and others-turboprobs and turbofans, Mach number representation, flight and maneuvering envelops, effect of wind on performance.
