2 Internet Research on the subject 8.1 Atmospheric Physics International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) and its application in aerodynamics. 8.2 Aerodynamics Airflow around an object: Boundary layer, laminar and turbulent flow, free-stream flow, relative airflow, upwash and downwash, vortices, and flow separation (stall). Terms: Angle of attack, aerodynamic chord, average aerodynamic chord, profile (parasite) drag, induced drag, pressure center, roughness ratio, smoothness ratio, wing shape, and aspect ratio. Forces in flight: Thrust, weight, aerodynamic resultant. Lift and drag formation: Angle of attack, lift coefficient, drag coefficient, polar slope, stall (perdovites). Profile contaminants: Ice, snow, and frost accumulation on the airfoil. Visual supported Direct Lecture
