JNTUK B.Tech Flight Mechanics-I gives you detail information of Flight Mechanics-I R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Course Objective
The main objective of the subject is to study basic party nomenclature of airplane and aerodynamic characteristics of aerofoil, wing bodies using performance augmentation methods. The subject also helps to estimate drag, thrust, and lift of flighing vehicle at different angle of attack and free stream velocities. It also considers the performance of space vehicles like rockets, missiles.
UNIT-I : Aerodynamic Characteristics : Airfoils, wings and bodies: geometry, nomenclature. Aerodynamic characteristics. Effect of geometry, Reynolds number, Mach number. Measures of aerodynamic performance, Performance augmentation methods.
UNIT –II : Drag and Thrust Evaluations : Drag of aerospace vehicle components. Total drag estimation, Methods of drag reduction, Propellers, Performance analysis. Aerospace engines reciprocating, turbine and rockets. Design features, Performance characteristics.
UNIT –III : Aircraft Performance In Steady And Accelerated Flight : Level flight, Stall, Cruise, Maximum speed, Ceiling, Cruise climb, Range and endurance. Climb performance, Performance optimization, Take-off and landing. Level turns and maneuvers.
UNIT-IV : Performance Of Rockets And Missiles : Principal design features of rockets and missiles. Types, Applications, Staging, Launch and Climb. Performance in boost glide, boost sustain, long range cruise and long – range ballistic trajectories.
UNIT-V : Flight Path Performance And Hazards : Introduction to Flight path and performance optimizations. Introduction to Sonic boom and hazards of Transonic and Supersonic Flight. Flight path control based on Ground noise considerations.
UNIT-VI : Fundamentals Of Rigid Body Mechanics : Rigid Body Mechanics relevant to Aircrafts, space crafts and Missiles.
