The flight of heavier than air vehicles is a wonder and a marvelous application of the principles of physics. Turning these principles into technology which is safe and effective requires knowledge and understanding of these principles of physics which makes flight possible and a command of structured engineering design which makes useful applications possible. This course provides both an understanding of the physical principles of flight and an introduction to the engineering design process. Teachers involved in the STEM disciplines will find the design projects addressed in this course directly applicable as student design projects in their classes. Through these case studies your students can not only learn that the underlying physics in not that difficult but can also have fun implementing what they learn in the design projects.
