Aero 302

Course:		AE 302 Aerodynamics II			Term: Spring 2006   

Instructor:	Dr. Tom Gally				Office: AC1 320   

Hours:		See Office Hours				Phone: 777-3931   

Texts:	Introduction to Aerodynamics by John Anderson, 3rd Edition 

	Introduction to Aircraft Flight Mechanics by Thomas Yechout

Objectives:	

To apply basic subsonic aerodynamics to the prediction of aircraft performance.

To provide the students with an understanding of the behavior of compressible flow 

and viscous boundary layers and the issues involved designing flight vehicles in the 

subsonic and supersonic flight regimes.   

Outcomes:	

Students will be able to predict the performance of an aircraft in steady level flight and

in accelerated flight conditions.  Students will understand the features of compressible 

and viscous flow.  Students will be able to analyze isentropic flow and simple 1 or 2 

dimensional flow with shock waves.  Students will understand the analytic solutions to 

viscous flow and the terminologies and topologies of boundary layers.  

Evaluation:
	Homework			10%
	Exams (3 @ 20% each)		60%
	Final  (May 2nd, 12:30-2:30)	30%   

Class Attendance:
	There will be no role taken, so attendance is up to the discretion of the 
student, with the following caveats: (1) attendance at exams is mandatory – make 
up exams will be allowed only in extreme circumstances; (2) the student is solely 
responsible for assignments, announcements, and lectures provided during class.   

Homework:
	I have assigned homework solely as a learning aide for the students.
Homework will not be graded, but will receive either a 2, 1, or 0 based upon the 
level of completeness. Homework will be due at the beginning of class on the due 
date. Late homework will not be accepted for credit.
