GEN 103: Physics for Aviation

Credits 1
Component
LEL

Students will learn Bernoulli¿s Principle, basic fluid mechanics, Newton¿s Laws of Motion, and the theory of aerodynamics. They will identify and assess changes in aircraft and engine performance due to density altitude, and the aerodynamic effects a repair can have on a flight surface. Students will demonstrate the ability to convert temperature units, determine density and pressure altitudes, calculate physical forces, and compute the various types of mechanical advantage.
