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 finished form, only

apprehended and examined as an open process so that students (in small groups) will be encouraged to carry out a summary of the material taught in the previous class with a maximum duration of 10 minutes, combining verbal exposition with audiovisual resources that facilitate understanding and encourage attention, and with interactive techniques that appeal to active participation.

The summaries may be presented in the form of demonstrations (real or simulations and recordings), mini-essays, debates, viewing of documentaries, application and comprehension exercises, case studies, pedagogical games and questions of various types, etc.
