Heavy Lift Challenge Lesson 1 - Aerodynamics
This lesson delves into the fundamentals of flight mechanics, exploring key concepts such as aerodynamic forces, airfoil design, stall phenomena, and the control axes across different types of aircraft.
Heavy Lift Challenge Lesson 2 - Scientific Principles of Flight
Explore the core principles that enable flight in this lesson, covering Newton’s Laws of Motion and Bernoulli’s Principle. Newton’s First Law states that an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Newton’s Second Law, \( F = MA \), is crucial for calculating thrust. Newton’s Third Law, stating that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, is key to understanding lift. Bernoulli’s Principle explains how increased fluid velocity results in decreased pressure, enabling airfoils to generate lift. Together, these principles form the foundation of flight mechanics.
Heavy Lift Challenge Lesson 3 - Weight and Balance
Before any flight, it's crucial to check equipment, batteries, and weather, but the real game-changer is understanding the Weight and Balance of your Air Vehicle (AV). Improper loading can lead to serious issues, from poor performance to catastrophic failures. Learn key concepts like Arm, Ballast, and Center of Gravity (CG) Limits, and discover how proper weight management ensures safe and efficient flights. Dive into this lesson to master the essentials of flight safety and performance!
Heavy Lift Challenge Lesson 4 - Radio Control
This lesson delves into the application of Radio Controlled (RC) Flight, building on the fundamentals of flight and the different types of Air Vehicles (AVs). It highlights the key differences between manned and unmanned flight, focusing on the use of a handheld Transmitter Unit to control the AV.
