Class Fundamentals of Aircrafts I

The UC aims to study the displacement of air and the reactions it provokes on the surfaces it contacts, through a theoretical and practical approach, in order to constitute a knowledge base of flight mechanics that enables its application in the support domains. and aeronautical operation.

Knowledge cannot be imposed or transmitted in a finished form, only learned and examined as an open-ended process so that students (in small groups) will be encouraged to summarize the material taught in the previous class with a maximum duration of 10 minutes, combining verbal exposition with audiovisual resources that facilitate understanding and stimulate attention, and with interactive techniques that call for active participation. Summaries may be presented in the form of demonstrations (real or simulations and recordings), mini-essays, debates, viewing of documentaries, application and understanding exercises, case studies, educational games and questions of various types, etc.
