/oas(
)he course is designed to familiari"e the aerospace engineering student with the fundamentals of
compressible aerodynamics and its importance in drag polar determination. )he course is also
concerned with the performance of *et and propeller driven airplanes. )he material presented is
essential for the preliminary design of high performance airplanes.
