Redirected from Aerodynamic Aerodynamics is the study of the flow of gases around solid objects. It is the scientific basis for heavier-than-air flight.

Topics to cover:

history of aerodynamics[?] (refer to Sir George Cayley)

the four common forces: lift, drag, thrust, weight

compressible flow dynamics

incompressible flow dynamics[?]

transonic aerodynamics[?]

supersonic aerodynamics[?]

hypersonic dynamics[?]

automotive aerodynamics
