What You Will LearnThe Aerospace Vehicle Performance (AVP) short course will provide you witha thorough training experience in the fundamentals of propeller‐driven andjet‐propelled aircraft flight performance. You will learn how the basic drivingforces of thrust, lift, drag, and weight profoundly affect aircraft range,endurance, maximum climb rate, and load factor capability as functions ofMach number and altitude. You will come to understand and apply thepowerful prinicples of Energy Maneuverability in planning aircraft minimumtime‐to‐climb and minimum fuel‐to‐climb schedules. You will also acquirethe knowledge and skills to accurately estimate aircraft take‐off and landingperformance. With these and other simple tools, you will be able to estimatethe performance of a wide variety of general aviation, commercial, military,and special purpose aircraft missions. AVP subject matter includes:

Aviation HistoryMuch has transpired during the 100‐plus years of powered flight. We areboth the beneficiaries and stewards of the technological progress thatprevious generations have bequeathed to us. However, the truth is that agreat many in today’s aerospace workforce have little knowledge of the keypeople, events, and innovations that comprise the history of their ownprofession. While we cannot live in the past, we must learn from it if weare to be successful now and in the future. Further, like our predecessors,we must protect and preserve this legacy knowledge for succeedinggenerations. It is for these reasons that White Eagle Aerospace, LLC stronglyemphasizes aerospace history in the technical courses that it offers. This isdone through the mediums of special presentations, videos, and field trips.Aircraft addressed in the Aerospace Vehicle Performance course include:
