Discover the basic fluid dynamic concepts behind aircraft analysis and design. Sign up for Introduction to Aerodynamics and other edX courses at http://edx.org. About This Course: his is a course about aerodynamics, i.e. the study of the flow of air about a body. In our case, the body will be an airplane, but much of the aerodynamics in this course is relevant to a wide variety of applications from sailboats to automobiles to birds. Students completing 16.101x will gain a conceptual understanding of aerodynamic models used to predict the forces on and performance of aircraft. Topics covered are relevant to the aerodynamic performance of wings and bodies in subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimes. Specifically, we address subsonic potential flows, including source/vortex panel methods; viscous flows, including laminar and turbulent boundary layers; aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, including thin airfoil theory, lifting line theory, and panel method/interacting boundary layer methods; and supersonic airfoil theory.

Is it free?
-
rerun the course in edx pls.

How does a normal shock transmit drag to a tangent surface if the impulse/thrust function (p+rho*v^2) is constant across it?
-
But they said don't take the class until you're familiar with those things.
-
That's the point of the class. It ought to teach you what you want to learn no?
-
But what does it say? For example, is that delta P, change in pressure? I think the blue says the sum of the vector force is the derivative of mass*velocity with respect to time. I'm not sure about green or yellow. I can see the brown is a triple integral, but what do I need to learn about it?
-
Try the Khan Academy.

Could you point me in the right direction regarding the bits of mathematics you wrote out?

thanks for all, MIT. I love all you do!
