Aerodynamik des Flugzeugs 1

What it is about

In this module you will learn the fundamentals of calculating and analyzing the aerodynamic forces on aircraft under subsonic conditions. You will acquire knowledge of theoretical models (e.g., potential theory, wing and airfoil theory), airfoil design, and experimental methods, so that you can calculate and evaluate aerodynamic characteristics for airfoils and wings.

What you will be able to do

• Understand and characterize the fluid-dynamical phenomena of subsonic aerodynamics for airfoils and wings
• Understand fundamental theoretical models of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics
• Apply potential-theory calculations for airfoils (drops and skeleton theory) and wings (wing-lift theory)
• Determine airfoil and wing aerodynamics for subsonic conditions using these methods
• Determine aerodynamic quantities from mission and flight mechanics requirements
• Be familiar with airfoil systematics
• Understand relevant phenomena in airfoil design
• Classify the requirements for experimental aerodynamics and wind tunnel use

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of the theoretical foundations of aircraft aerodynamics
• ÜbungCalculation examples, presentation of solution approaches and a computer-aided additional exercise linking theory and practice

Teaching method

• Multimedial gestützter Frontalunterricht (Foliensammlung, Tablet-PC, Beamer)for conveying the theoretical foundations
• Beispielrechnungen und Übungsaufgabento clarify and apply the theory
• Rechnergestützte Zusatzübungto show the connection between theory and practice
