Aeronautical Calculations: What's with All Those Coefficients Anyway?
When aircraft designers decide on the design specifications for a new aircraft, they develop a model that is tested in a wind tunnel. The data collected from wind tunnel tests are used to develop a comparison to how the aircraft will fly at full scale. They make these and other comparisons by using proven aeronautical equations using dimensionless coefficients.
there is an effort to show the human aspects of engineering such as creativity and finding solutions to issues related to energy and the environment. The university has several programs aimed at reaching younger girls, including after-school aerospace and robotics clubs at about eight area elementary and middle schools. A couple of the clubs are all-female.
seven-week summer scholars program for

"Visit Japan" to computer-design your own animé cartoon characters.
"Visit Egypt" to study the pyramids and how to "mummify"
apples. "Visit China" to explore the Great Wall and the
process of making paper. "Visit space" and learn about the International
Space Station. Have fun learning about physics, robotics,
computer-aided drawing, chemistry, basic engineering, and
space science.
The student will have an opportunity to learn about the Properties of Gas,and Laws of Conservation, they will also visually see both biological principles hands on.
The students will pose a hypothesis and use the scientific method to interpret their hypothesis.
Aviation: Wright Brothers - These sites are about the Wright Brothers and their early airplanes. Includes biographies on Wilbur and Orville that tell about their family and careers. Discover what inspired them to build planes. Contains historical photographs, movies, diaries, interviews, and simulations."
LESSON PLANS - A library of fun science experiments to help students understand how the Wrights developed the first powered aircraft.
WIND TUNNEL TESTS In 1901, the Wright Brothers conducted wind tunnel tests that helped them learn about lift. With NASA's help, we'll recreate some of those tests. Follow along! COMPUTER SIMULATIONS We're using computers to analyze the Wrights' early wing designs and the 1903 Wright Flyer. What will we learn?
This unit in aerodynamics will attempt to find the mathematical concepts that are essential to flight with special interest in the concepts that relate to path problems.
Two computer instructors in the CalWomenTech Project used this information to develop a YouTube Video strategy to help their students improve their skills in binary numbers, a core concept in computer networking.The two videos combined had more than 53,000 views in the last year!
great circle navigation - how to compute courses, headings and other quantities of interest. These formulae can be programmed into your calculator or spreadsheet - includes enough information that those familiar with plane trigonometry can derive additional results if required.
classroom activity ideas and unit plans about aviation. Learn how aircraft fly and try to solve word problems and other mathematical equations relating to aviation. Includes links to resources on Transportation: Aircraft, Aviation: Military Aircraft, and Aviation: Wright Brothers.
