Incompressible and compressible one-dimensional flow. Airspeed measurement. Two-dimensional potential flow. Circulation theory of lift. Thin airfoil theory. Viscous flow. Boundary layers. Finite wing theory. Drag in incompressible flow. Wing-body interactions. Prerequisites: ES204 (Dynamics), ES206 (Fluid Mechanics). Corequisite: ES305 (Thermodynamics). Goals: The purpose of this course is to familiarize the aerospace engineering student with the fundamentals of incompressible aerodynamics with special emphasis on physical concepts. The student will develop analytical techniques to predict the lift and drag of real airfoils. A primary goal is to provide the student with an adequate capability in aerodynamics for use in airplane design. Performance Objectives: 1. Determine the physical properties of air within the atmosphere. 2. Use correct technical terms to describe the basic anatomy of airplanes and airfoils. 3. Apply basic aerodynamic principles and equations to airplane lift calculations. 4. Estimate the drag of an aircraft by applying basic aerodynamic equations and empirical data. 5. Discuss the practical limitations of current state of the art aerodynamics theory used to design airfoil shapes. 6. Assess and evaluate the contributions made to a proposed airplane configuration by parameters such as span efficiency, aerodynamic center location, stall behavior, high speed characteristics and high-lift devices. 7. Describe the importance of boundary layer behavior and its influence on the different forms of drag of an aircraft.

Estimated ABET Category Content: Engineering Science: 2 credits Engineering Design: 1 credit Academic Integrity Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is committed to intellectual integrity and considers dishonesty a very serious offense. Such offenses include cheating (accepting unauthorized assistance in preparing assignments), fraud (gaining unfair advantage through deceit, trickery, of falsification of records), or plagiarism (taking the ideas writings, words, and/or work of another and representing them as one's own without appropriate acknowledgement). A student who cheats, commits any academic fraud, or plagiarizes in this course will receive an F for the course. In addition, the incident will be reported to the Dean of Students. If any other academic integrity violations have been documented, the student will be recommended.for dismissal.
