AE 330 - Flight Mechanics and Performance

Class Hour(s) 3
3 Semester Credit Hour(s)

Explores the principles of aircraft flight mechanics with emphasis on performance analysis. Topics include equations of motion, performance metrics (takeoff, climb, cruise, landing), aircraft stability, and control. Students analyze the effects of weight, altitude, and atmospheric conditions on aircraft behavior and evaluate performance using real-world case data and engineering models.
