Aerodynamics, to put it simply, is the analysis of the forces and resulting motion of objects in the air. It concerns the four forces of flight (lift, weight, thrust, and drag), fluid dynamics, gas ...

Fundamentals of subsonic aerodynamics. Atmosphere models. Air speed measurement, boundary layers, aerodynamic heating. Circulation, downwash, and three-dimensional wing theory. Airfoil data, and lift ...

For supersonic flight, the nose was hydraulically lifted, streamlining the plane's shape and allowing it to efficiently pierce the air. It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that ...

as aerodynamics involves anything that moves within a given atmosphere. Simply put, this field of study isn't just limited to ...

Future aircraft will be environmentally friendly, safe, quiet and efficient. Aerodynamics can affect almost all flight characteristics that relate to the environment. This area of research can be used ...
