Bernoulli's Principle

Physics in Aviation: The Science Behind Aircraft Maintenance Physics is not just something pilots learn in ground school. It shows up everywhere in aviation maintenance: flight controls, hydraulics, fuel systems, propellers, aircraft structures, sheet metal repairs, torque values, weight and balance, and troubleshooting. For an A&P mechanic, understanding physics helps connect what is happening in the airplane to why a component is designed, inspected, adjusted, or repaired a certain way. ...

A practical A&P-focused guide to physics in aviation, based on FAA-H-8083-30B Chapter 5, including force, work, torque, pressure, fluids, Bernoulli’s principle, Newton’s laws, heat, sound, atmosphere, and aircraft theory of flight.
