About the Class

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:

  • Wing Geometry
  • Basic Aerodynamic Principles of Finite Wing
  • Lift and Induced Drag
  • Downwash and Induced Angle of Attack
  • Classical Lifting-Line Theory
  • Effects of Planform, Twist, Aileron Distributions, and Rolling Rate
  • Optimum Twist Distributions to Minimize Induced Drag

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:

  • 32 Lessons with detailed explanations
  • 5.5 hours of video instruction

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.

Aerospace Engineer and Teacher
Hi - I'm Doug. I love airplanes and math. Why are my courses so cheap? I believe higher education should be available to those of all economic circumstances and geographic locations.  My pre-recorded classes grew out of the pandemic that forced higher education to go online. I wanted to extend my reach to students who don't have the opportunity...

Conquer the Math of Flight
Through our study of aircraft design, we have grown to love the beautiful mathematics behind aerodynamics and flight mechanics. These analytical solutions grew out of intense work by aerodynamicists that were well versed in physical laws and mathematical principles. With the development of the computer in the 1960’s and subsequent improvements...
