Very good course, the final assessment is quite challenging so you need to learn seriously.

Flight mechanics - Propulsive balance and energy
This course is dedicated to energy management, i.e. speed and altitude control. The various sources of drag are first described and modeled, as well as thrust origin, and evolution with speed and altitude. Using these models, we can evaluate the propulsive balance and derive important concepts like flight regimes, best climb speed, or propulsion ceiling. We take then a glance at cruise performances and the evolution of range with weight. This course is a part of the specialization "Fundamentals of Flight mechanics".

Reviewed Jan 31, 2023It was quite a challenging course but not impossible to complete even for people who didn't have a scientific background ( like me)!
Persistence, work management, self study can get you far in this module. Do not jump right away on this if you didn't complete the previous ones because it could get confusing.
The videos are short but well explained.
