Aerodynamics (the study of force) comes from the Greek: water = air and dynamic = force. Therefore we can conclude that the aerodynamics is a study of the movement of an object in the air. Air force science is a continuation of the older science is the science of the hydrodynamic force of water or the air force and science are closely connected with some of the other sciences, namely the natural sciences (physics), mathematics (math), science style (mechanics), and meteorology (meteorogia) the supply of information about the still air rights, especially about the changes experienced by the air if the altitude increases.

In 1810 Sir George Canley argues that the forced air blowing against the direction of motion of the wings in the air or fluid. Then in 1871 Pranoim Wenham airfoil plotting a curve like the shape of bird wings. Also in this year's Wenham who first made wind tunnel which is driven by steam power. Airfoil investigation was continued by the brothers Wreight conduct experiments with approximately 150 pieces of foil water beside the steering wheel complements the tools to steer the aircraft is being terbang.dalam Newton Iaanc investigation has found that forces air through the moving body lift ( lift and resistance / drag). In the years 1902-1907 kutti N Wilhelm (Germany), NE Janhowaki (Russia), Frederiek W. Launohoster (England) discovered the theory of how the lift (elevator) on the airfoil.

With the discoveries in the years above it is clear that the science of aerodynamics is still new, and not an abstract knowledge such as science and mechanics because up to now investigations are still ongoing.


Aerodynamics is actually none other than the one who studies or investigates the properties of air, the reactions and consequences arising from the movement of objects through the air by the air or the movement of objects in the air. So aerodynamics also means knowledge or investigation of object movements in the air where the terms are closely related denganilmu flight.

The factors that affect Aerodynamics:

-Temperature (air temperature)
- Air pressure
-Air velocity
-Density / density of air

To study the science of aerodynamics, there are some legal diantaramya

Newton's laws

Newton's Laws I

Said that the object at rest will remain silent while a moving object will keep moving in straight lines and velocity tetapkecuali a style that is because of external circumstances that forced him to change the

Newton's second law

Said that changes in direct proportion to the amount of movement of the working style and work along the lines of the style. Newton's Second Law further says that a moving object will have a slowdown.

Newton's third law

Said that the action is equal and opposite reactions. This means that the force carried by the two bodies against each other equal and opposite direction.
