Pre-Requisites: 23AEE211 Aerodynamics-I
Course Objectives
This subject deals with basic concepts pertinent to finite wings. In other words, it highlights the deficiency of classical approaches based on airfoil theory by incorporating the real effects of wing-tip vortices that causes the additional induced drag on finite wings.
Course Outcomes
CO1: Learn thin airfoil theory and extend it to evaluate thickness and flap deflection effects.
CO2: Apply finite wing theory to evaluate the aerodynamic coefficients and forces for high aspect ratio finite wings
CO3: Understand flow over swept & delta wings, Leading Edge Vortex Flap technology for delta wing and an introduction to buffeting.
