Aviation Week 2 Notes

Aerodynamics and the Science of Flight

During week 2, we will explore the scientific principles that allow an aircraft to fly. We will also evaluate and develop an understanding of how the operating environment affects aircraft performance. Along the way, we will also examine aircraft construction and, by the end of the module, you will be able to identify the major parts of a plane.

In this chapter, focus on understanding how aircraft are constructed and the major components of an aircraft. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/media/05_phak_ch3.pdf

In this chapter focus on understanding the effect of the environment on flight, Newton’s Basic Laws of Motion, and Bernoulli’s Principle. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/media/06_phak_ch4.pdf

In this chapter focus on understanding the forces that act on an aircraft in flight and the impact of aircraft design on performance. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/media/07_phak_ch5.pdf

In this chapter focus on developing an understanding of the impact of weight and balance on safe flight. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/media/12_phak_ch10.pdf

In this chapter focus on understanding the factors that affect aircraft performance. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/media/13_phak_ch11.pdf

World War I, the Airmail Story, and Early Commercial Aviation

Module 2 detailed how, out of the world crisis of World War I, the airplane transformed the study of aeronautics and engine technology and was the linchpin in the establishment of the U.S. Postal Service. In the years following the successful flights of aeronautical pioneers like the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss, aviation became a burgeoning endeavor. The time between 1903 and 1926 could be considered the "First Wave of Aviation Technology" with advances seen in aircraft structures, aerodynamics of flight, and aircraft engines. Module 2 takes us through this exciting time as the airplane evolved from a valuable warrior during World War I to how it could be used for profitable commercial use carrying the mail. World War I is credited for advancing the use of the airplane as a valuable resource. Review: https://www.worldwar1centennial.org/1181-timeline-of-wwi-aviation-history-demo.html#overview from The United States World War One Centennial Commission to see how, in four short years, aviation became of age. Chapter 12 - The Privatization of Airmail

Upon successful completion of week 2, you will be able to:

Identify the aerodynamic principles of flight.

Compare the performance capabilities of aircraft based on aircraft design.

Evaluate the impact of the operating environment on aircraft performance.

Describe the advances in the aviation industry following WW I.

Analyze establishment of airmail service and the resultant Kelly Act of 1925 and Air Commerce Act of 1926.

Discuss the advent of commercial aviation as a viable industry.

Management Week 2 Notes

In this module, you will be introduced to the six components of an information system and learn about the various management information systems (MISs) that enterprises employ to improve and support business processes. Ever hear the term Garbage In, Garbage Out? You will learn how vital the governance of data (information) is to businesses and that data needs to be accessible, reliable, and factual. Methods of data governance are covered as well as the topics of data centers, cloud computing, and virtualization. You will also learn about IT infrastructure, IT architecture, and enterprise architecture (EA). You will also be exposed to the topics of data management and the analytics processes associated with managing data as well as the types of database technologies. You will also learn about business intelligence and electronic records management.

Read Chapters 2 and 3 of the course textbook. Ch.2 introduces the concepts associated with the management of information systems, data governance, and the topic of cloud computing. Ch.3 delves into the world of databases, data analytics, and business intelligence. Also review the PowerPoints.

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

Describe a type of information system.

Relate the topics of IS infrastructure, IT architecture, and enterprise architecture to data analytics.

Describe the functions of information management and data governance.

Create a type of information system utilized by management.

Discuss data analytics and electronic records management.

Research Week 2 Notes

Research is an iterative process, meaning that each step builds upon the one before it, which generates both possibilities and limitations. As we saw in Module 1, determining a topic of interest and associated research questions serves as a starting point for our inquiry. These questions are subject to revision and refinement as you progress in the subsequent steps. Determining what research already exists in our area of interest is a fundamental step in the fine-tuning of the focus of a research project. In this module, you will learn how the tools of the Annotated Bibliography and the Literature Review help to examine the existing research available for your topic. In this module, we continued to examine the concept of scientific research, the step-by-step process used to define and investigate problems. We learned how examining the existing research in our area of interest helps to determine any gaps in the literature and to fine-tune our research question(s) in order to ensure our research contributes to the overall field of knowledge. We saw how the annotated bibliography and literature review aid in exploring a problem and structuring our research plan.

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

Develop an annotated bibliography to support an identified research question.

Locate potential sources to support the inquiry of an identified research question.

Identify research elements needed for the research project.
