Overview

This aerodynamics course focuses on the study of the flow of air about a body, and the “body” will be an airplane, but many of the concepts explored are relevant to a wide variety of applications from sailboats to automobiles to birds. Learners completing this aerodynamics course will gain a fundamental understanding of concepts and models used to aerodynamically analyze and design subsonic, transonic, and supersonic aircraft.

While the course is an introduction to aerodynamics, it is an advanced subject typically taken as a third or fourth year undergraduate subject in aerospace engineering.

    The MIT Introduction to Aerodynamics course exceeded my expectations in every way. Taught by knowledgeable instructors, it provided a comprehensive overview of aerodynamics concepts. The course structure was well-organized, and the video lectures were engaging and easy to follow. The hands-on assignments and quizzes helped solidify my understanding of the material. I appreciated the opportunity to interact with fellow learners in the online community. The resources provided were invaluable, and the flexibility to study at my own pace was a significant advantage. This course not only deepened my knowledge of aerodynamics but also inspired a newfound passion for the subject. Highly recommended!
