Explore the world of aviation by learning to design and build balsa wood airplanes. Through this course you will learn basic aerospace principles and then build your own balsa planes.

Provides an engaging introduction to the basics of (one-dimensional) fluid mechanics and applications to mechanical and aerospace engineering. This class focuses on providing students with a broad theoretical and practical understanding of fluid mechanics through derivations, worked examples, and physical demonstrations of the principles taught. Topics include fluid behavior in the incompressible subsonic, compressible subsonic, and compressible supersonic regimes.
