The third session held by Avembsys was our actual venture into the Aerospace field.We were given a brief introduction on the classification of aircrafts.We discussed about the various aspects of Aerodynamics and terms related to it,some of which I was hearing for the first time.We discussed topics like Electronic Warfare and EMP(Electromagnetic Pulse).Terms like Static Pressure,Stagnation Pressure,Standard Sea-Level Conditions,Aircraft Attitude,Center of Gravity,Angle of Attack,Stall Speed,etc were also discussed.
We then learnt about the different externally visible parts of an aircraft and how each of these parts are integrated to form an aircraft as a whole.The following parts were discussed in detail:
- Cockpit
- Fuselage
- Jet Engine
- Wing
- Elevator
- Rudder
- Spoiler
- Aileron
- Slats
The parts of an aircraft wing and its functionality was taught in great detail.The role of a wing in the lift of an aircraft was also discussed.A video of a crash that included the first computerized control system for an aircraft,Airbus 320 was shown along with the investigation and report details.
The session ended with a discussion on the probable project topics.I found this session more interesting as compared to the last two sessions as it gave me a deeper insight into the Aerodynamics field as a whole and opened doors to a great field,I had not known much about!
