Aerodynamics and flight mechanics

• Locate the various aerodynamic devices (flight controls, high-lift devices, lift-dumping devices, etc.) on an aircraft and explain their field of use
• Use the various technical terms relating to aerodynamics

• Aerodynamics:
  – Atmosphere
  – Flows, aerodynamic forces
  – Study of an aircraft wing

• Flight mechanics:
  – Forces exerted on the aircraft in flight
  – Horizontal flight, climb, descent
  – Turns
  – Stability, aircraft balance
  – Supersonic flight

• Aircraft technology:
  – Control surfaces, high-lift devices and other aerodynamic devices
  – Structures of aircraft
  – Flight control
