Aerodynamics is a sub-field of\u00a0fluid dynamics\u00a0and\u00a0gas dynamics, and many aspects of aerodynamics theory are common to these fields.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-us\" xml:lang=\"en-us\">Even if it\u2019s not necessary for a mechanic to know everything about Aerodynamics and Theory of Flight, it is important to understand the relationship between the aircraft and the forces that act upon it during flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-us\" xml:lang=\"en-us\">A basic understanding of the physical laws of nature which affect flying and on the ground aircrafts is the first step in studying aerodynamics. Understanding the motion of air around an object enables the calculation of forces and\u00a0moments acting on the object. In many aerodynamics problems, the forces of interest are the fundamental forces of flight:\u00a0lift,\u00a0drag,\u00a0thrust and\u00a0weight.\u00a0Understanding how pilots control and counteract those forces prepares engineers to make intelligent decisions affecting the flight safety for airplanes and helicopters.<\/span><\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","eb_course_cat":[59],"class_list":["post-5508","eb_course","type-eb_course","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eb_course_cat-part147basictraining"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationinstitute.eu\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eb_course\/5508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationinstitute.eu\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eb_course"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationinstitute.eu\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/eb_course"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationinstitute.eu\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5508"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationinstitute.eu\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationinstitute.eu\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"eb_course_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationinstitute.eu\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eb_course_cat?post=5508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
