Important notes and answers to some frequently asked questions:
1. This material is not intended to represent the only source for your exam preparation, but only
a complement to the lecture notes and tutorials, prepared to help with your revision. To be
fully prepared for the exam, you absolutely must work through all the worked examples
and tutorial questions included in the lecture notes. These represent the material that will
prepare you best for the exam, with the past exam papers providing additional examples.
2. The tutorial questions are not types of questions different to the actual exam questions,
they represent exactly the types of questions which you can expect in the exam. The reason
for this is simple: the tutorials were designed to help you understand the applied aspects of this
module’s learning outcomes, with the exam being a verification of exactly the same learning
outcomes.
3. Because there are plenty of calculation-type questions available in the tutorials, worked
examples and past exam papers, the main focus for this extra revision material will be the
more theoretical aspects of the module’s learning outcomes. This will guide you through
the important concepts you must become familiar with. However, there will also be some
additional calculation-type problems included. These additional calculation questions
included here should be attempted once you are comfortable with solving the tutorial
questions.
4. You should note that no full solutions will be provided for these revision questions, only
numerical answers. You have the fully worked solutions for all tutorial questions available,
and none of these additional questions nor the exam questions will introduce new calculation
procedures or methods which were not already covered in the tutorials. Likewise, all the
material you need to answer the discussion/theoretical questions is available in the lecture
notes. Do not worry if you cannot exactly memorize what is written in the lecture notes.
Demonstrating that you understood is what matters and what will be marked, not the ability to
reproduce word-by-word phrases from the lecture notes.
5. Finally, all the chapters are equally important, and the material included in them has
equal chances of coming up in the exam. This is simply because each of them covers different
aspects of fundamental aerodynamics, and each of them adds its own pieces of information to
the complex puzzle that is aircraft aerodynamics.
