Career Cluster
Description
This course introduces aerodynamics through hands-on learning, exploring various concepts & theories relevant to modem aviation, including the positive and negative effects of various aerodynamic forces and how pilots manipulate those forces to affect the performance of various airborne and ground based vehicles. Students will look at the impact that weight distribution can have upon an airborne vehicle's aerodynamic controllability, and how atmospheric conditions affect the aerodynamic properties of objects. Students will explore the systems that make manned and unmanned aircraft work, including propulsion, fuel, electrical, landing gear, and environmental systems as well as the flight instruments associated with each system and how to identify and troubleshoot common problems.
