Teaching Aerodynamics
Outline:
Teaching Aerodynamics Part Two:
Objective:
To understand the aerodynamic concepts of how an airplane can overcome its own weight and to understand how resistance to its movement is generated and managed.
Motivation:
An airplane must overcome its weight to fly and must be able to move through the air in order to do it. An understanding of these aerodynamic concepts/forces allow the pilot to understand how to anticipate and manage these forces.
Learn how to correctly explain Aerodynamics.
Live from KOPF & KPAO.
This lesson covers how an aircraft achieves stability around the three axes and the advantages and disadvantages of each type of stability.
Also the forces in a climb, descent, and turn are discussed.
