Aerodynamics. The science of the action of air on an object, and with the motion of air on other gases. Aerodynamics deals with the production of lift by the aircraft, the relative wind, and the atmosphere.
In aerodynamics, drag is defined as the force that opposes forward motion through the atmosphere and is parallel to the direction of the free-stream velocity of the airflow. Drag must be overcome by thrust in order to achieve forward motion.

Here is a list of all the topics available from the Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics (BGA) site. Clicking on the title will deliver a page with a slide and a scientific explanation of the contents.
Aerodynamics
Stability Concepts
The aircraft's response to momentary disturbance is associated with its
inherent degree of stability built in by the designer, in each of the three axes,
and occurring without any reaction from the pilot.

Aerodynamics
The science or study of the forces acting on an aircraft in motion.

Aerodynamics. The science of the laws relating to forces acting on bodies moving in the air.

A tailless aeroplane has no separate horizontal stabiliser, either behind (Tailplane) or in front of (canard foreplane) the main lifting surface.
Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators This is the book on aerodynamics. If some math doesn't scare you, and you want the book that everybody goes to when you need the final answer, this is it.
AERODYNAMICS - The branch of fluid mechanics dealing with air (gaseous) motion, and the reactions of a body moving within that air.

Some aerodynamics texts use the term sideslip angle, which is synonymous with slip angle.
What about aerodynamics and other scientific concepts?
The FAA has carefully distilled the amount of aerodynamics you need to know into easily-learned lesson plans.
In the mathematical aerodynamics description of lift this rotation of the air around the wing gives rise to the "bound vortex" or "circulation" model.
Aerodynamics The study of how air flows around the airplane. Air Air is a physical substance which has weight and is made up of molecules which are constantly moving. Moving air has a force that will lift kites and balloons up and down.
Aerodynamics of Autorotation
During powered flight, the rotor drag is overcome with engine power.
Paying close attention to aerodynamics, Mooney has created a slippery airplane. Push and pull rods for the flight control system result in an extremely positive feel; there's no delay or doubt as to who is flying the airplane.
You may wonder how it was found that the upper surface of the wing was the most important; and I will say that this was one of the interesting discoveries of the early history of aerodynamics.
Development, which represented a major step forward in Soviet aerodynamics, engineering and metallurgy, took several more years to complete.
Today, with the knowledge accumulated for over a century on aerodynamics, structural strength, on their relation in aerolasticity (flutter), on ergonomics and with the ongoing development of modern, efficient, reliable and lightweight engines, ...
Aeronautical knowledge includes diverse and interesting subjects like aerodynamics, how the systems of the airplane you are flying work, what weather to avoid, FAA regulations, principles of navigation, aeromedical factors, stall/spin awareness, ...
Experiments that he began to carry out in 1804 allowed him to learn more about aerodynamics and wing structures using a whirling arm device.
Dynamic pressure is mathematically expressed as: 1/2 ρ V2, as we know from aerodynamics. It shows clearly that dynamic pressure relies on two things: air density (Rho) and aircraft speed (V).

PARASITIC DRAG (also called parasite drag) is drag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid medium—or in the case of aerodynamics, a gaseous medium.

In 1890 Langley founded the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and began research into aerodynamics. In 1901 Langley produced the model of the first flying machine powered by a gasoline engine.
Sand the edges of all of the pieces to remove any roughness or splinters, which will affect aerodynamics.

predicted a certain number of constants to which similar disturbances (and an airfoil in the air is a disturbance) produce similar effects - in hydrodynamics, these are referred to as 'Froude Numbers" (hulls of boats); in high speed aerodynamics the ...
of Motion were propounded by Sir Isaac Newton*. These principles summarize the behavior of moving objects. The Laws of Motion are fairly easy to understand by a layperson. These laws are valuable tool in explaining basic concepts in aerodynamics.
For example, the intersection of the wing and the fuselage at the wing root has significance interference drag.
Skin fraction Drag, is the aerodynamics resistance due to contact of moving air with the surface of an aircraft.
