What You Will LearnThe Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics (FGD) short course will provide you witha comprehensive training experience in classical compressible flow principlesand phenomena. You will learn the meaning and significance of thegoverning mass, momentum, and energy conservation laws which form thetheoretical framework of gas dynamics. You will come to understand howvelocity, Mach number, pressure, temperature, density and other key flowparameters vary through shock waves and expansion waves. You will alsoreceive instruction regarding the theory and application of isentropic flows,flow friction effects (Fanno Flow), and flows with heat addition (RayleighFlow). Finally, you will acquire the knowledge and analytical skills to solve amyriad of variable‐density flow problems including rocket nozzle, blow‐downwind tunnel and propulsion system flows. FGD 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. Vehiclesaddressed in the Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics course include:
