AVIA 290 Aircraft Aerodynamics and Performance (3)

Discussion of aerodynamics and aircraft performance to include: Aerodynamics and terminology with emphasis on lift, weight, thrust, and drag forces acting upon an airplane in flight; calculation of stall speed; weight and balance (W&B); stability and control; operating data; low speed aerodynamics; fundamentals associated with transonic and supersonic flight; aircraft performance requirements; performance of aircraft powered by reciprocating, turboprop, or jet engines; special flight conditions often experienced by commercial pilots of fixed-wing aircraft; configuration changes. Offered even years only.
