What Will I Learn?
This Fluid Mechanics Course equips you with practical tools to predict lift, drag, and power requirements for high-altitude UAVs. You will learn to estimate induced, parasite, and skin-friction drag, compile total drag coefficients, and compute propulsion power. Employ dimensional analysis, uncertainty techniques, and straightforward analytical models, utilising actual atmospheric data and inlet performance methods to make dependable, evidence-based aerodynamic choices.
