What you will learn:

• Have an overview of the history of flight
• Apply basic/constitutive principles of mechanics of fluids – a.o. Bernoulli.
• Apply control volume approaches
• Explain flow regimes (viscous/non-viscous; compressible/incompressible aerodynamics) and to estimate viscous and thermal effects
• Compute lift/drag of simple configurations
• Describe reference frames and derive general equations of motion for flight and orbital mechanics
• Apply equations of motion to determine aircraft performance in steady gliding, horizontal and climbing flight
• Derive aircraft performance diagram and flight envelope, in relation to aircraft morphology, lift-drag polar and engine performance
