    Aerodynamics Lesson Plan

    Uploaded by

    William Bailey
    This aerodynamics lesson plan introduces students to the basic concepts of helicopter flight through topics like lift, drag, thrust, weight, rotor aerodynamics, translational lift, induced flow, dissymmetry of lift, turning flight, autorotation, and aerodynamic hazards. The lesson will be complete when students can identify aerodynamic forces and explain how they relate to helicopter flight through an oral examination. Students are assigned to read relevant chapters in textbooks and online resources on rotorcraft aerodynamics as part of their study.
