8. BASIC AERODYNAMICS
Level A Bl B2
8.1 Physics of the Atmosphere 1 2 2
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA), application to
aerodynamics.
8.2 Aerodynamics 1 2 2
Airflow around a body;
Boundary layer, laminar and turbulent flow, free stream
flow, relative airflow, upwash and downwash, vortices,
stagnation;
The terms: camber, chord, mean aerodynamic chord,
profile (parasite) drag, induced drag, centre of pressure,
angle of attack, wash in and wash out, fineness ratio, wing
shape and aspect ratio;
Thrust, Weight, Aerodynamic Resultant;
Generation of Lift and Drag: Angle of Attack, Lift coefficient,
Drag coefficient, polar curve, stall;
Aerofoil contamination including ice, snow, frost.
8.3 Theory of Flight 1 2 2
Relationship between lift, weight, thrust and drag;
Glide ratio;
Steady state flights, performance;
Theory of the turn;
Influence of load factor: stall, flight envelope and structural
limitations;
Lift augmentation.
8.4 Flight Stability and Dynamics 1 2 2
Longitudinal, lateral and directional stability (active and
passive).
