Aircraft Design – How to use Wing and Thrust Loading in your designs
This 18-minute video is the first tutorial in our new aircraft design series. The topic is how designers use thrust loading and wing loading to select propulsion units, and size aircraft wings in the concept design stage.
If this video interests you, you can learn more about aerospace and aircraft design in our online Higher International Certificate in Aerospace Engineering. Or why not check out the online engineering short courses specifically in aerospace engineering:

What is Inertia and how to Calculate it ?
What is Inertia and how to Calculate it ? Inertia is the property of matter that causes it to resist changes in its velocity. This includes changes to the object’s speed or direction of motion. Inertia is directly related to mass, the greater the mass, the greater the inertia. In simple terms: “An object in […]
