Course Description
In this course, we look at the fundamental theory of wings and the mathematics behind lift, induced drag, downwash, induced angle of attack, and many more important physical phenomena. You will learn to predict the aerodynamics of finite wings from a given geometry using classical theoretical methods. Insight gleaned from this course will increase your ability to design efficient future aircraft.
Key Concepts Include:
We take our time going through the mathematics, and you can speed up or slow down the videos depending on your own learning speed.
This Course Includes:
At the completion of this course, you’ll be a master of wing aerodynamic theory. You’ll be able to design efficient wing planforms or twist distributions to minimize induced drag, and better yet, you’ll understand the physics behind it all. Wing design is one of the most fundamental building blocks of aircraft design. It’s a blast, so let’s get started.
