6 points + 22 lectures and 22 hours of tutorial/laboratory classes + First or second semester + Clayton + Prerequisites: MEC2430, MEC3465 or MEC3405 + Prohibition: MEC3442

Synopsis: The aerodynamics of aircraft flight, especially aspects of aircraft performance, control and static stability. The industrial aerodynamics section will first develop the fundamentals of bluff body aerodynamics, turbulence effects and separated flows and then lead to applications in the aerodynamic loading of structures and duct flows.

Assessment: Examination: 70% + Laboratory and design assignments: 30%
