OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The primary course objective is to develop a fundamental understanding of the origins and magnitude of aerodynamic forces and moments, primarily on aircraft where they provide the lift and balance needed to fly, and to develop methodologies for modeling and prediction of such forces and moments. Students gain the background necessary to work on aeronautical and mechanical engineering projects within the aerospace industry.
Contents of the Course Unit:	An introduction to aerodynamics including wing and airfoil theory, aircraft performance, and aircraft stability and control. Aerodynamics: Some Introductory Thoughts. Aerodynamics: Some Fundamental Principles and Equations. Fundamentals of Inviscid, Incompressible Flow. Incompressible Flow over Airfoils. Incompressible Flow over Finite Wings. Three-Dimensional Incompressible Flow

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

Upon completion of the course, the fully successful student will be able to: 1. perform general predictions of the net aerodynamic lift, drag, and pitching moment on an aircraft, 2. calculate basic performance characteristics of an aircraft, 3. evaluate the stability and control characteristics of an aircraft, and 4. develop a preliminary design for an aircraft for specific performance requirements. 5. Learn to use similarity parameters, physical characteristics and aerodynamics trends associated with
