In this lesson, we explore some of the strangest aircraft ever built—like the HL-10, which glided without wings, and the BV 141, a weird-looking, off-balance plane that actually worked. Discover how engineers broke all the “normal” rules of design to win the battle against drag, and how these bold ideas helped shape the future of aviation and space travel.
From unconventional shapes to innovative propulsion systems, these unique aircraft challenged our understanding of aerodynamics and functionality. Their ingenuity not only led to groundbreaking advancements in technology but also inspired future generations of engineers to think outside the box.
This course includes 2 modules, 5 lessons, and 2:00 hours of materials.
We’ll explore how these aircraft handled the four forces of flight, especially drag, and how their weird shapes helped engineers learn more about gliding, balance, and re-entry from space.
