Theory of Flight - Part 1

This two-part course incorporates many of the concepts introduced in the lessons on basic physics and shows you how they work together to make flight possible. It explores the concepts that apply to airplanes, helicopters, and many other types of flying machines. Part 1 covers basic aerodynamics, exploring Bernoulli’s principle and subsonic flow, airfoils, control and stability of an aircraft, the basics of aircraft flight, and types of lift-control devices used during takeoff and landing. The information presented in this course is from Avotek’s Fundamentals of Modern Aviation textbook, which is available for purchase through Avotek.com
