  • Very good course, great knowledge of the teachers and the way they explain the content.
    I liked the method very much
  • Likith N
    This course help me so much, teaching is also very good i have completed my courses in my home .so, usefull i refer my friends to this Course .
  • This course is a must in aerospace propulsion. It has given a good refresher on what propulsion truly is and with combining the calculation of thrust vs weight for multiple thrust types such as propeller thrust and turbine thrust.
