Aerodynamics For Engineers What You Will Learn The Aerodynamics For Engineers (AFE) short course will provide you with a comprehensive training experience in fundamental aerodynamics applicable to flight ranging from subsonic to hypersonic speeds. You will learn how aerodynamic forces and moments are generated for any flight vehicle at any speed and any aerodynamic attitude. You will be introduced to the viscous boundary layer, turbulence, and flow separation and how these phenomena critically affect airfoil lift and drag characteristics. You will come to understand the significance of Mach number, Reynolds number, and the principle of Dynamic Similarity and the part they play in the field of wind tunnel testing. You will learn the basics of aerodynamic heating and why thermal effects drive the design of high‐speed flight vehicles such as aircraft, missiles, and entry vehicles. You will also acquire simple equational tools to make first‐order, real‐world aero calculations. AFE subject matter includes:
y The Atmosphere y Compressible Flow
y Fluid Properties y Conservation Laws y Aero Forces and Moments y Mach Number y Incompressible flow y Shock Waves y The Boundary Layer y Expansion Waves y Flow Separation y Airbreathing Propulsion y Airfoils and Wings y Aerodynamic Heating y Aerodynamic Lift y Reynolds Number y Aerodynamic Drag y Planetary Entry y Wind Tunnels y Aerospace History

Aerodynamics For Engineers Aviation History Much has transpired during the 100‐plus years of powered flight. We are both the beneficiaries and stewards of the technological progress that previous generations have bequeathed to us. However, the truth is that a great many in today’s aerospace workforce have little knowledge of the key people, events, and innovations that comprise the history of their own profession. While we cannot live in the past, we must learn from it if we are to be successful now and in the future. Further, like our predecessors, we must protect and preserve this legacy knowledge for succeeding generations. It is for these reasons that White Eagle Aerospace strongly emphasizes aerospace history in the technical courses that it offers. This is done through the mediums of special presentations, videos, and field trips. Aircraft addressed in the Aerodynamics For Engineers course include: 9 Bell XS‐1 9 Bell X‐1A 9 Bell X‐2 9 D‐558‐II Skyrocket 9 F‐100 Super Sabre 9 F‐102 Delta Dagger 9 F‐104 Starfighter 9 F‐106 Delta Dart 9 B‐58 Hustler 9 North American X‐15 9 XB‐70 Valkyrie 9 SR‐71 Blackbird
