Class Experience

This course introduces fundamental aerospace concepts—lift, drag, thrust, stability, propulsion and structural design—through a mix of interactive lessons, short videos, quiz games and hands-on build projects. Students apply scientific inquiry and engineering design as they construct and test flight models, iterate designs, and learn how materials and recovery systems affect performance.

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify basic aerodynamic forces (lift, drag, thrust, weight)

  • Explain common propulsion methods used in small flight models

  • Demonstrate principles of stability and control in simple aircraft models

  • Compare effects of different materials and structures on flight performance

  • Apply engineering design test, evaluate and iterate model designs
