Come discover the fascinating world of flying through the exploration of aeronautics, aerodynamics and flight mechanics!
This course offers an introductory look into the fundamentals of aeronautics. Through a historical journey from the early days of ballooning to modern aviation including airplanes and helicopters, participants will explore how principles of aeronautics have been understood and applied. Faculty from the Delft University of Technology's Aerospace Engineering department guide learners through three key blocks focusing on the history and evolution of flight, principles of aerodynamics, and flight mechanics.
The course requires an understanding of high school level mathematics and physics to fully grasp the theories and applications discussed.
Learners will find these skills useful in various areas including aerospace engineering design and operations, flight-planning, and even in educative or recreational settings that involve understanding and explaining the physics and mechanics of flight.
