Course Description

Aviation and aeronautical engineering is an old field of study and today has some of the most advanced innovations in science and technology. The general focus so far has been on commercial and military aircraft, generally meant for transporting humans and cargo, that have sophisticated and complicated uses and need expert handling. Today there are much simpler forms of aircraft that are meant for purposes other than transporting humans and cargo, referred to as UAVs or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Also commonly known as Drones, these aircraft have no human pilots on board but are controlled remotely by humans on the ground using radio signals. In this course, you will learn the principles of flight and how heavier-than-air aircraft, both large and small, manage to take-off, cruise in the air and land back on the ground.
