Jan , 5th 2011 Session 3 @ SOAR in AVEMBSYS

                Hello Friends , after a long break Avembsys session started ,for which all of us were waiting since our exams finished.
           Session started with basics of 'C' Programming by one of our friend and he cleared many complicated concepts like Pointers and many more....
        Then came our tech-lead  and he started with the basics of AERODYNAMICS. This fundamental structure includes many concepts  like mass,momentum,couple,viscocity which increases with increase in speed, temperature, different types of pressure like  gauge pressure/Absolute pressure,static pressure and total/stagnation pressure.In addition to this he also  gave us the  basic and first principle of aircraft ie. Pitot tube which is mainly related with speed of an aircraft.Then gave the brief idea about gas laws such as isothermal and adiabatic processes. Apart from altitude aircraft also have   attitude which includes center of gravity,aerodynamics    center ,center of pressure and mach number (ratio of speed of body to speed of sound).
           Then in the second part of session Expert  showed and explained us in slides that     how does the aircraft fly ? Before to this what are the important parts of an aircraft ?  
it include various parts such as 
fuselage  : The fuselage is that portion of the aircraft that usually contains the crew and payload, either passengers, cargo, or weapons.
wing :The wing is the most important part of an aircraft since it produces the lift that allows a plane to fly. A wing produces lift  because of its special shape, a shape called an airfoil.
engine:most modern aircraft now use some form of a jet engine . Many aircraft house the engine(s) within the fuselage itself.All jet engines operate by forcing incoming air into a tube where the air is compressed, mixed with fuel, burned, and exhausted at high speed to generate thrust.
elevator: The elevator is located on the horizontal stabilizer. It can be deflected up or down to produce a change in the downforce produced by the horizontal tail.
rudder: The rudder is located on the vertical stabilizer. It can be deflected to either side to produce a change in the side-force produced by the vertical tail.
aileron: Ailerons are located on the tips of each wing. They are deflected in opposite directions (one goes trailing edge up, the other trailing edge down) to produce a change in the lift produced by each wing.
There are many more parts but only few are listed above.
               Now coming to the end of session 
there were two videos one about VTOL (vertical take-off landing) and another one about Air France A320 crash details and   Airbus investigation pilot vs plane.
                Finally Sir discussed about projects and he also assigned some hardware projects to the students who were interested in doing such projects.............
   to be contd in next session
