Interesting stuff from Lesson 1

I think there's actually quite a number of interesting stuff we have learnt in our first lesson, so I'll log down some of them here.

We were reminded of Newton's 2nd and 3rd law (which I believe we have kind of forgotten since it has been a while since our GCE 'O' levels, xD)

We briefly touched on SI Units (which we probably won't forget since we'll be using them a lot)

We went through the 5 layers of the atmosphere: (we will mostly be covering the 1st 2 layers only)
- Troposphere
o Layer where most life forms reside in
o Up to 11km above sea level
- Stratosphere
o Ozone layer
o 11-48km
- Mesosphere
- Thermosphere
- Exosphere

Properties of air that we will be focusing on: temperature, pressure, density and viscosity

Then finally we covered the laminar flow (smooth flow), turbulent flow, how airfoils work, mach number (a measure of speed, object speed/speed of sound), reynold's number (inertial forces/viscous forces) and how the air speed indicator works.

Think I covered most of it at least, hopefully the notes for the troposphere and stratosphere helps in our revision for the quiz, since it was mentioned it'd come out.

And that'll be all for this post, hope the air flight stimulation will be fun
