Course Learning Outcomes
| Order | Course Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| LO01 | Comprehend the Standard Atmospheric variables and their values at sea level and calculate atmospheric conditions using Ideal gas laws. |
| LO02 | Will be able to calculate the changes with altitude and temperature, by explaining the relationships between the gauge, calibrated, equivalent and real air speeds, respectively. |
| LO03 | With the use of different wing shapes and carrying-increasing apparatus; examines the variation of lift, drag and pitching moment curves with angle of attack. Explain the characteristics of the boundary layer region resulting from changes in airfoil geometry and friction. |
| LO04 | It examines the effects of velocity, density, area and lift coefficient on lift and drag. Calculates stall speed and changes in stall speed caused by variables such as weight load factor, altitude and lift coefficient. |
| LO05 | Discusses how wing planform characteristics (wing area, wing span, average aerodynamic velocity, span ratio, taper ratio etc.) affect lift and aircraft performance. |
| LO06 | Using power, thrust and drag-speed curves, it calculates maximum range, endurance speeds and climb rates, and understands the effects of wind and fuel flow. |
