COMPETENCES AND SKILLS THAT WILL BE ACQUIRED AND LEARNING RESULTS.
Fundamental and applied knowledge of Aerodynamics.
Fundamental and applied knowledge of the simplified laws that govern the fluid motion around aerodynamic bodies.
Fundamental and applied knowledge of the principles that allow the prediction of forces and moments on bodies
moving through a fluid. In particular, generation of lift, drag and moments on airfoils (incompressible, subsonic and
supersonic regimes) and wings (incompressible regime).
