Air-passenger traffic is expected to triple over the next twenty years and the aviation industry will, in that period, train thousands of staff, many of whom will come into the industry with no knowledge of aircraft or what makes them fly. Aviation Training Resources has produced two introductory programmes The Aeroplane/Airplane and Introduction to Flight.
Introduction to Flight explains in basic terms what makes an aircraft fly. The programme includes, the atmosphere, its density, temperature and its variation with altitude. The aircraft wing and how lift is generated is explained in the simplest of terms.
It covers the four basic forces - lift, weight, thrust and drag, along with the effects of imbalance. The fundamentals of the aircraft engine as it relates to thrust, including a short explanation on how a jet engine functions are also covered along with speed, the take-off, landing and flight turbulence.
Introduction to Flight is for non-technical staff as an ab initio teaching tool or wherever there is need of a basic understanding of the theory of flight, it also compliments on-going type training.
