MECH 594

Introduction To Aeronautics

The course covers concepts in incompressible airfoil theory, including symmetric and cambered airfoils, using a combination of analytical and numerical approaches. The course also covers incompressible wing theory, including downwash, lifting-line theory, elliptic wings, wings with twist, and the application of fundamentals to the design of finite wings. Finally, a cursory description of propulsive systems, propellers, and selected topics in aircraft performance and design is provided. Cross-list: MECH 494. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for MECH 594 if student has credit for MECH 494.
