Aerodynamics (Mechanics of Flight)
Tracer Bullet 00-3
Aerodynamics is the science that deals with the motion of air and
other gaseous fluids, and with the forces acting on solid bodies
when they move through gaseous fluids, or when gaseous fluids move
against or around solid bodies. Therefore aerodynamics comes into
play when air is flowing over airplanes, automobiles, cars, ships,
buildings, and other objects. Aerodynamics also comes into play
when air is flowing through ducts or other enclosed spaces such
as wind tunnels, jet and rocket engines, and pipes. The movement
of air can result in certain aerodynamic effects, such as heat that
is generated and transferred to the surfaces of a solid body with
which the air comes in contact. A specific example would be the
heating up of the skin of a high-speed aerospace vehicle.
