This course is an algebra- and trigonometry-based course in aerodynamics related to practical flight applications and specifically addresses aviation topics including linear and curved motion studies; kinematics; force; statics; dynamics; work and energy; impulse and momentum; rotary motion; and fluids. Vector analysis plays an important role in developing conceptual models to explain cause and effect. The student conducts investigations, collects data, and interprets the results using graphical analysis. The application of mathematical models to observed events enhances the development and reinforcement of conceptual understanding.
Four credit in-person course meets twice per week and has an additional Lab period. Scheduled for 12:45PM-2:00PM Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Lab on Thursday from 10:00AM-11:50AM.
Candidates for this position should have a strong physics background, familiarity with Fundamentals of Flight and Aerodynamic principles. Masters degree preferred but not required. Being a Licensed pilot is also beneficial.
