Course Information
Aerodynamics handles a mix of imperial, metric and other units but for our purpose we need to know the SI units for some common factors like: Kilogram for mass, Newton for Force and weight, metres per second square for acceleration, metres per second for velocity, Kelvin for temperature, Pascal for pressure, kilograms per cubic metre for density, Joule for energy, Newtons per metres square for wing loading and watt for power. Courses are constantly monitored and updated when major changes in authority documentation is released. Mass : Kilogram (kg) Weight : Newton (N) Force : Newton: kgm/s^2 Acceleration : m/s^2 Velocity : m/s Temperature : Kelvin (K),(273+°C) Pressure : Pascal (Pa) ,(N/m^2) Density : ρ (kg/m^3) Energy : Joule (J) , Power : Watt (W), 1J/sec Gravity : 9.81 m/s^2
