Institute of Aerospace Engineering

The students will obtain basic knowledge and habits for application of aerodynamic relations, usable for flying activity from the point of view of piloting. They will acquire knowledge of flying theory necessary for effective and safe aircraft traffic.

The basics of mathematics – differential and integral calculus, common differential equations. The basics of common mechanics – force effect on a body, kinematics and dynamics. The basics of fluid mechanics.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Conditions for obtaining the course-unit credit: participation in the course (95% at the minimum), presentation of calculation tasks records. The credit is necessary to be admitted to examinations. The exam has written form (the essential one) and oral parts. Evaluation process fulfils the University requirements.

The goal is to familiarize students with basic problems of aerodynamics of atmospheric aircraft, principle of force and moments emergence on aircraft. Students will learn to apply practically their knowledge of aerodynamics in pilot practice for the purpose of higher flight safety.

Lectures and seminars are compulsory, and the attendance is checked and recorded. The absence (15%-20%) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer and elaboration of individually assigned topics and exercises. All tasks must be finished and handed in the week credits are awarded at the latest.
