a coastal launch site would probably be convenient as well. This aircraft design portion of the project is a very simplified version of the preliminary design process which will be undertaken by some of you in AE420. It requires only algebraic calculations. In several cases‚ rule-of-thumb estimations are used to avoid having to do analysis which is beyond the current technical background of the typical first year college student. These estimations are explained at the fundamental concept level when

entails how the object will react with the fluid under various conditions in the field of aviation as the main systems are the control surfaces and various parts of the aircraft. This fluid in this case‚ is the atmospheric air. Therefore‚ the aerodynamics principles of aircrafts stability and flight envelopes to different maneuvers will be discussed below in addition to various stability and control of fundamental of flight.

required during high-velocity turns; the racing driver and race car manufacturer Daniel Gurney is generally credited with inventing the device that bears his name. The earliest reference to a Gurney flap was made by Liebeck [1] who carefully studied the spoiler of a race car modified by a 1.25% on chord ( %c afterwards) Gurney flap in wind tunnel; he proposed it changes the Kutta-Joukowski condition on airfoil performing in subsonic condition. Regarding the Kutta-Joukowski condition‚ as known‚ when an airflow

The collapse of the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge stunned everyone‚ especially engineers. How could the most "modern" suspension bridge‚ with the most advanced design‚ suffer catastrophic failure in a relatively light wind? The State of Washington‚ the insurance companies‚ and the United States government appointed boards of experts to investigate the collapse of the Narrows Bridge. The Federal Works Administration (FWA) appointed a 3-member panel of top-ranking engineers: Othmar Amman‚ Dr. Theodore
