Internship – Series of 4 courses

How do planes take off? How do they fly? How do pilots maintain control of them? And how high can planes fly?

Get answers to all these questions and more with this specialization that explores the fundamentals of flight mechanics. You’ll learn how the laws of physics apply to aircraft and discover important aviation concepts such as:

  • moment
  • drag
  • urge

Hands-on Learning Project

In each course, learners are asked to complete exercises in the form of case studies to apply the skills they have learned. These exercises are based on simulators that allow for the modification of variables selected by the learner himself.
