What you'll learn
✓ Analyse how lift, drag, thrust, and weight determine aircraft performance across flight regimes
✓ Evaluate turbojet, turbofan, and turboprop propulsion systems for different operational requirements
✓ Explain fly-by-wire flight control architecture and redundancy design principles
✓ Assess stealth aircraft geometry and radar cross-section reduction techniques
✓ Apply maintenance philosophies and airworthiness concepts to aircraft sustainment planning
Requirements
● No prior aerospace experience required; the course builds from first principles
● Basic understanding of physics concepts such as force and pressure is helpful but not essential
● Curiosity about how aircraft work and willingness to engage with technical content
● Access to note-taking materials to capture key concepts for professional reference
Description
Aerospace and defence organisations need professionals who understand aircraft systems holistically. Whether you are transitioning into the sector, supporting defence programmes, or building technical credibility for engineering roles, this course gives you the integrated knowledge that employers expect.
This course takes you from fundamental aerodynamics through propulsion, flight controls, stealth technology, structures, and aircraft systems. You will learn how lift, drag, thrust, and weight interact to determine aircraft performance. You will understand why swept wings manage transonic flow and how fly-by-wire systems replaced mechanical linkages. You will discover how radar cross-section drives stealth aircraft geometry and why composite materials are reshaping airframe design.
The content covers turbojet and turbofan engines, afterburners, and the Brayton cycle in practical terms. You will explore hydraulic and electromechanical actuators, electrical power architecture, and landing gear systems. The course concludes with maintenance philosophies, airworthiness certification, and operational readiness metrics that link engineering decisions to through-life programme costs.
Every lecture connects theory to real-world application across civil and military aviation. The course is designed for professionals in aerospace supply chains, defence contractors, programme management offices, and technical consultancies who need to speak the language of aircraft engineering with confidence.
The structure follows a deliberate progression: why aircraft fly, what makes them fly, how they survive hostile environments, and what keeps them operational. This mirrors how professionals encounter aircraft knowledge in actual programmes. Lectures average five minutes, designed for busy schedules and maximum retention.
By completion, you will have the foundational vocabulary and conceptual understanding to contribute meaningfully in technical discussions, programme reviews, and cross-functional engineering teams.
Who this course is for
■ Defence programme managers who need technical credibility when engaging with engineering teams
■ Engineers transitioning into aerospace from adjacent industries such as automotive or energy
■ Supply chain professionals working with aerospace and defence contractors
■ Technical consultants supporting aircraft procurement, sustainment, or modification programmes
■ Graduate engineers seeking foundational knowledge before specialising in aerospace disciplines
■ Military personnel moving into technical programme delivery or contractor support roles
