Module 13 – Aircraft aerodynamics, structures and systems

This module provides a holistic understanding of the design, function and operation of an aircraft’s significant structures and systems and how the aerodynamic interactions affect their design. 

In the first part of the module, the students will gain the knowledge of the subject of aircraft aerodynamics and develop the awareness of flight and how the aerodynamic forces (lift and drag) are generated and affect an aircraft.

Further on, the module will provide an understanding of the design and construction of significant structural items, equipment, flight controls, instruments, all the systems which make the aircraft fly, take off and land, which maintain life and creates conditions for passengers and crew, which make the pilot aware of what is going on with the aircraft, in other words all there is to know about aircrafts.
