Instructor
What Will You Learn?
About This Course
Get ready for takeoff in this exciting mini-course where we explore the science of thrust—the powerful force that helps airplanes fly!
Perfect for curious teens aged 13–17, this course dives into how engines work, how pilots control speed and direction, and what happens when engines fail. You'll discover how engineers design aircraft to keep flying safe, fast, and smart. With real-life examples, fun analogies, and clear visuals, you’ll understand how planes push forward—and how thrust keeps them soaring high.
By the end of this course, you'll not only grasp the fundamentals of thrust but also appreciate the intricate balance of physics and engineering that allows us to conquer the skies.
So buckle up and prepare for an educational journey that will elevate your understanding of aviation!

Curriculum Overview
This course includes 2 modules, 5 lessons, and 2:00 hours of materials.
You’ll learn how thrust overcomes drag, how engines create the forward push, what happens if a plane loses thrust, and how pilots use throttles and rudders to stay in control. You’ll also explore how aircraft designers solve tricky problems like asymmetric thrust and thin air at high altitudes. By the end, you’ll understand why thrust is the heartbeat of flight.
