What You Will LearnThe Aerodynamics For Engineers (AFE) short course will provide you with acomprehensive training experience in fundamental aerodynamics applicableto flight ranging from subsonic to hypersonic speeds. You will learn howaerodynamic forces and moments are generated for any flight vehicle at anyspeed and any aerodynamic attitude. You will be introduced to the viscousboundary layer, turbulence, and flow separation and how these phenomenacritically affect airfoil lift and drag characteristics. You will come tounderstand the significance of Mach number, Reynolds number, and theprinciple of Dynamic Similarity and the part they play in the field of windtunnel testing. You will learn the basics of aerodynamic heating and whythermal effects drive the design of high‐speed flight vehicles such as aircraft,missiles, and entry vehicles. You will also acquire simple equational tools tomake first‐order, real‐world aero calculations. AFE subject matter includes:

Aviation HistoryMuch has transpired during the 100‐plus years of powered flight. We areboth the beneficiaries and stewards of the technological progress thatprevious generations have bequeathed to us. However, the truth is that agreat many in today’s aerospace workforce have little knowledge of the keypeople, events, and innovations that comprise the history of their ownprofession. While we cannot live in the past, we must learn from it if we areto be successful now and in the future. Further, like our predecessors, wemust protect and preserve this legacy knowledge for succeeding generations.It is for these reasons that White Eagle Aerospace strongly emphasizesaerospace history in the technical courses that it offers. This is done throughthe mediums of special presentations, videos, and field trips. Aircraftaddressed in the Aerodynamics For Engineers course include:
