What you'll learn
⚡ • Explain how lift, drag, and thrust interact across the full flight envelope, from takeoff to cruise to landing.
⚡ • Predict boundary-layer behaviour, flow separation, and stall onset from an airfoil + angle-of-attack combination.
⚡ • Read a wing planform and infer its speed regime, manoeuvrability, sweep strategy, and high-lift system.
⚡ • Analyse transonic and supersonic phenomena — shock-wave formation, wave drag, and area ruling.
⚡ • Explain aeroelastic failure modes — flutter, divergence, and control reversal — at engineering level.
⚡ • Compare turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, turboshaft, and piston propulsion on thrust, SFC, weight, and mission fit.
⚡ • Walk through a fly-by-wire control architecture, including redundancy, control laws, and envelope protection.
⚡ • Identify the four classical dynamic stability modes — phugoid, short-period, Dutch roll, spiral — and why they matter.
⚡ • Trace primary load paths in a metallic or composite airframe and relate them to inspection intervals.
⚡ • Describe safe-life vs fail-safe vs damage-tolerant design philosophies and when each applies.
⚡ • Explain stealth shaping (faceting, planform alignment, S-ducts), RAM, and IR-signature management.
⚡ • Interpret an aircraft's hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, electrical, and avionics architectures at block-diagram level.
⚡ • Map a scheduled-maintenance programme (A-/B-/C-/D-checks, NDI methods) onto real airframe hardware.
Requirements
❗ • High-school level physics forces, pressures, and basic Newtonian mechanics.
❗ • Comfort with block diagrams and simple engineering sketches.
❗ • No prior aerospace coursework required the first two lessons rebuild the necessary foundations.
❗ • No specific CAD or simulation software is required; concepts are shown through animated visuals.
