Course Overview
The Aircraft Stability and Control programme by Swayam is designed to help the candidates understand what features to include in the aircraft so that it remains statically stable. The online course will cover aircraft manoeuvres extensively and go into the finer details about aircraft flying.
The programme aims to create a solid background for designing an aeroplane from the aspects of stability and control. Swayam’s Aircraft Stability and Control course is a core course intended for undergraduate students, under the category of Aerospace Engineering and Flight Mechanics. Furthermore, this programme will teach them how to introduce specific features in the aircraft so that the pilot can fly the plane at free will.
The Aircraft Stability and Control course by Swayam is an online undergraduate-level course and takes around 12 weeks for completion. This course also provides video lectures and course material, along with weekly assignments and quizzes for self-assessment. Candidates will be able to download or print the reading material for convenient learning.
