Are you studying or teaching Aerodynamics? This page acts as an index to all the terminology related to this topic. Clicking on any title will open a page with a colored slide and a scientific explanation of the contents. Animated,...

Includes exhaustive information and a wealth of activities pertaining to aerodynamics and the physics of flight.

In this interactive, find out how the Wright brothers' design of the first flyer provided lift and speed, and allowed the pilot to make adjustments in response to changes in wind speed and direction.

The airplanes unit begins with a lesson on how airplanes create lift, which involves a discussion of air pressure and how wings use Bernoulli's Principle to change air pressure. Following the lessons on lift, students explore the other...

Discusses air flow around the wing of a plane and its effect upon the lift and drag forces. Focuses on the application of Bernoulli's principle to wing design and the subsequent airfoil shapes.

Collection of articles ranging from basic to advanced on aerodynamics theory.

The Illinois Institute of Technology lets pupils investigate the aerodynamics of a helicopter, focusing on the variables which effect the lift, thrust, drag, and weight. Students investigate the effects of aerodynamics on a wide board.

Question and answer regarding the physics principles that apply to a plane flying upside down.

Emulate the work of a naturalist by making observations of wildlife in local parks. Record field notes, including drawings, photographs and observations of behavior, on a particular animal or habitat.
