The aim of this course is to define the basic concepts and principles related to flight, to understand the theory of airborne and flight of lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air aircraft, aerostatic and aerodynamic laws, forces affecting the aircraft, aircraft structure, systems and structural features of aircraft, by examining the future aviation industry. To ensure that our young people are trained with professional knowledge and skills.
Prerequisite(s)
-Minimum qualifications expected from the student in order to take the course. (Examples: Foreign language level, course attendance, previously acquired institutional qualifications, etc.)
Lecture (presentation), question-answer, discussion, problem solving, case study and group work methods and computer-assisted teaching techniques will be used.
