Aerodynamics Practice Exam

About Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is the study of forces and the resulting motion of objects through the air.    

Studying the motion of air around an object allows us to measure the forces of lift, which allows an aircraft to overcome gravity, and drag, which is the resistance an aircraft “feels” as it moves through the air. Everything moving through the air (including airplanes, rockets, and birds) is affected by aerodynamics.

Why is Aerodynamics important?
Improvements in aerodynamics can provide a significant contribution to reduce the overall impact of air travel on the environment as well as significantly improve the bottom line for the airline operator.

The main goals are reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds.

Who should take the Aerodynamics Exam?
•    Aeronautical or Aerodynamics engineer or  professionals
