# Aerodynamics of Flight

These sections discuss aerodynamic fundamentals and principles of rotary-wing flight. 

Understanding these principles facilitates an aviator’s ability to maximize performance of the aircraft. This content relates to flight operations and performance of normal mission tasks. It covers theory and application of aerodynamics for the aviator.
