Description
Drones will soon be used for agriculture, search and rescue, package delivery, and many missions not even thought up yet. Because drones have to be specially designed for each mission, this means that now is the best time in history to be involved in aircraft design. Today we have the best tools and methods and can design aircraft like never before. Come explore the world of aircraft design and get involved in this exciting industry!

In this course, aircraft designers Doug Hunsaker and Sam Weiss give you an overview of fixed-wing drone design. Students will learn the basics of aircraft design with an emphasis on the drone industry needs and missions. Topics include basic sizing for mission requirements, propulsion system selection, design tradeoffs, 3D modeling, airfoil analysis, and some pointers on detailed aerodynamic design.

By taking this course, you'll see the world of aircraft design differently and have a deeper understanding of the exciting challenges that await in this burgeoning world of drone design.

Who this course is for:
Anyone who wants to learn how to design fixed wing drones
Anyone who is curious about aircraft design
Those who just want to learn something new!
