Cours
Aerodynamics
Ce cours présente les bases de la dynamique des fluides pour comprendre comment l'air s'écoule autour d'ailes et de corps en deux et trois dimensions et pour comprendre et calculer les forces et les moments aérodynamiques agissant sur les objets résultant de l'écoulement de l'air.
Measurement techniques
Cours pratique et théorique sur les techniques expérimentales d'observation et de mesure des variables physiques, telles que la force, la résistance, la température, la vitesse de flux, la déformation structurelle, etc.
