What will I learn?
This Fluid Mechanics Course gives you practical tools to predict lift, drag, and power needs for high-altitude UAVs. Learn to estimate induced, parasite, and skin-friction drag, assemble total drag coefficients, and calculate propulsion power. Apply dimensional analysis, uncertainty methods, and simple analytical models, while using real atmosphere data and inlet performance techniques to create reliable, data-backed aerodynamic decisions.

Develop skills
- Drag and power prediction: estimate UAV drag, induced drag, and shaft power fast.
- High-altitude aerodynamics: size wings and lift for 16 km UAV cruise in minutes.
- Boundary layer control: assess laminar–turbulent regimes and skin-friction drag.
- Inlet flow design: size intakes, predict losses, and secure mass flow at 16 km.
- Dimensional analysis tools: use Re, Ma, and q to scale tests to real UAV flight.
