Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics is the study of how air interacts with moving objects — in our case, aircraft. Understanding the four forces of flight (lift, drag, thrust, and weight), how they interact, and what happens when they become unbalanced is fundamental to being a safe pilot. This topic covers everything from basic Bernoulli's principle to spin recovery, ground effect, and high-altitude performance.
