AVSC 180 - Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: PHYS 181
Students in this course learn about aspects of the atmosphere which are most important for safe aircraft performance including: the dynamics of incompressible fluid flow, laminar and turbulent flow conditions and basic potential flow. They will also learn airfoil theory, wing theory, the basics of aircraft propulsion and static performance. Offered spring semester. (CNSN)
