"ABC of Flight Mechanics: How Do Planes Fly?": a MOOC dedicated to
flight mechanics.

The notion of flight often defies our human terrestrial instincts. How
does an airplane fly? How can a pilot maintain control? How high in the
sky can an aircraft climb? How does a fighter pilot fly while spinning?

This online course (available in English) will cover many topics, such
as atmospheric physics and Newton's laws applied to aircraft, as well as
propulsion forces and longitudinal stability the question of traction.

The MOOC "ABC of Flight Mechanics" is aimed at general public with a
specific level of scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, various levels of
learning are available, thus it allows all students to take the course
without needing to plenty understand the mathematical principles.
Undergraduate students in aerospace engineering, trainees as well as
novice and experienced pilots, journalists and professionals in the
aeronautics domain (business, engineering, marketing, communications,
etc.) and all aircraft enthusiasts will be able to enrich their
knowledge.

MOOC start date: 25 March 2019
Please note: this MOOC is
available in English only.
