Aerodynamics?
• Aero – means Air• Dynamics – means Motion• Aerodynamics – the study of air in motion
• Important Point: Air is “Viscous”
Uh, that means it’s Sticky

Forces and Vectors
• A force may be thought of as a push or pull in a specific direction. • A force is a vector quantity so a force has both a magnitude and a direction. • When describing forces, we have to specify both the magnitude and the direction.

Think About ItIt’s “Tug-a-War”
The motion of the airplane through the air depends on the relative strength and direction of the forces we’ve discussed.
If the 4 forces are balanced, the aircraft cruises at constant velocity and altitude.
If the forces are unbalanced, the aircraft accelerates in the direction of the largest force.

Wrapping Up Forces & Lift
• Lift = Pressure * Wing Area• Pressure is dependant on:
– Airfoil Shape– Wing Velocity through the air– Angle that wing meets air (AOA)– Air density (more dense = more pressure)
• Newton’s 3rd Law?“For every Action there is and Equal and Opposite Reaction”
The more air moved down by the wing (Action)the more lift is generated (Reaction)
“Equal and Opposite”
![Page 22: Why Airplanes Fly Aerodynamics Institute of Computational Fluid Dynamics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d8d5503460f94a75dbe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Flight Without Thrust?
• Lift is dependant on Velocity
• Velocity is generated by Thrust
• Lift is dependant on Thrust
• No Thrust = No Lift
If Thrust is so critical to generate Velocity
Then … How do GLIDERS FLY

Aircraft Motion
Aircraft move in 3D (dimensions)(Cars move in just 1D)
• Pitch (up and down)• Yaw (left and right)• Roll (well uh, roll)
• ALL motion occurs around the balance point, called the Center of Gravity (CG)

• Find physical differences in planes
• Explore why they work

DihedralBalanced Forces
Unbalanced Forces
Plane slips towards low wing, increasing lift on that wing.

Stable vs. Unstable
• Stability is not always desirable.
• Why?
• Where would you want:– Stable airplanes?– Unstable airplanes?
![Page 32: Why Airplanes Fly Aerodynamics Institute of Computational Fluid Dynamics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d8d5503460f94a75dbe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Control
• A simple matter of affecting the forces that we have just discussed!
• Control results from manipulating various control surfaces on the plane to change the forces.

Aerodynamic Myths
1. Biplanes have 2 wings to get twice the lift.
2. “Air Pockets” cause airplanes to drop suddenly while flying.
3. Lift is generated by the wing’s top, curved, surface which causes low pressure.
4. Bumblebees can’t fly.
