| Summary |
|---|
The course is based on module 080, the basics of flight in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EU) 1178/2011, which lays down the technical requirements for crews in civil aviation under Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The content is focused on the basic knowledge of low-speed aerodynamics of aircraft.
The student will gain knowledge in the field of aerodynamics, air flow around the profile, the formation of resistance, the principle of propeller operation and the basics of high-speed flow to the extent that allows him to pass ATPL exams at the Civil Aviation Authority in Prague. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The subject´s goal is to achieve the necessary competencies to focus on the issues of fundamental principles of aircraft flying in the areas of subsonic speeds. Knowledge of this subject is a civil aviation regulations requirement by acquiring of some aviation qualifications. |
| Course Contents |
|---|
1. Introduction to low speed aerodynamics, physical foundations, laws and definitions.
2. Two-dimensional flow around the profile.
3. Aerodynamic coefficients.
4. Three-dimensional flow around the aircraft.
5. Total resistance of the aircraft.
6. Ground effect.
7. Horizontal flight, polar system, right and wrong turn.
8. Tearing off the current on the wing.
9. Increasing the maximum buoyancy factor.
10. Means to reduce the ratio of CL - CD, and to increase resistance.
11. Boundary layer.
12. Introduction to high speed aerodynamics, definition of Mach number.
13. Shock waves.
14. Discussion and consultation of previous content. |
