| Summary: | The study of aerodynamics is a challenging and rewarding discipline within aeronautics since the ability of an airplane to perform (how high, how fast, and how far an airplane will fly) is determined largely by the aerodynamics of the vehicle. However, determining the aerodynamics of a vehicle (finding the lift and drag) is one of the most difficult things you will ever do in engineering, requiring complex theories, experiments in wind tunnels and simulations using modern highspeed computers. Doing any of these things is a challenge, but a challenge well worth the effort for those wanting to better understand aircraft flight. |
