| Basic Aerodynamics | 3 |
INTRODUCTION
An understanding of the basic principles of aerodynamics is as important to the aviation maintenance technician as it is to the pilot and the aerospace engineer. The technician is concerned with the strength of an aircraft because of the stresses applied through the forces of aerodynamics when the aircraft is in flight. Often responsible for the repair or restoration of aircraft structures, the technician must know that the repair work will restore the required strength to the parts that are being repaired. There are certain physical laws which describe the behavior of airflow and define the various aerodynamic forces acting on a surface. These principles of aerodynamics provide the foundations for a good ...
