    In addition to part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this portion gives further
    specific details regarding the course.

    Course No. : AN F314


    Course Title : Introduction to flight
    Instructor-in-Charge : Dr. Jayaprakash K S

    Course description:
    This is an introductory course on the essentials of flight covering most of the topics necessary for detailed study
    if one is interested in future. This course aims at providing an insight into the fundamentals of aerospace
    engineering at the introductory level, including the key concepts of basic aerodynamics, aircraft performance
    and testing, flight stability and control, aircraft materials and design consideration, and an initiation to advanced
    concepts.
    Scope and Objective of the Course:
    Students taking this course should be able to delve deeper into topics related to aircrafts, aerodynamics, and
    flight.
     Modelling of the Earth’s atmosphere for aircraft design
     The fundamental aerodynamic concepts for flying an aircraft
     Generation of lift by air foils and wings
     Aircraft’s optimal climb, cruise and descend rate
     Methods of flight test
     Basic aircraft structural design from the concepts of mechanics of solids
