Description
This book teaches what is required by EASA for B1 and B2 knowledge testing and typical of the curricula offered within EASA certified 2 year Part 147 programs.
The focus is on a basic understanding of the various conditions of flight and flight controls as applied to the day to day tasks of an aircraft technician.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
PHYSICS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
– International standard atmosphere, application to aerodynamics
– International standard atmosphere, application to aerodynamics
AERODYNAMICS
– Airflow around a body.
– Boundary layer, laminar and turbulent flow, free stream flow, relative airflow, upwash and downwash, vortices, stagnation.
– Terms: camber, chord, mean aerodynamic chord, profile (parasitic) drag, induced drag, center of pressure, angle of attack, wash-in and wash-out, fineness ration, wing shape, and aspect ratio.
