Quel avion pour quelle mission? (FUN)

Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi la compagnie aérienne avait affrété tel type d’avion plutôt que tel autre ?

En montant dans un avion, vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi la compagnie aérienne avait affrété tel type d’avion plutôt que tel autre ? Sachant qu’il existe aujourd’hui environ une centaine de types d’avions de transport, la question est en effet plus que légitime : un type d’avion donné, pour quel type de mission est-il fait ? Et a contrario, quel avion choisir pour effectuer un type de mission donné ?
Ce sont à ces questions que se propose en premier lieu de répondre le MOOC : Quel avion pour quelle Mission ?
Mais au-delà de ce questionnement initial, ce cours se propose de vous aider à appréhender le secteur du transport aérien dans toute sa richesse et sa complexité. Nous verrons ainsi que, s’il en est la face la plus visible, l’avion en tant que tel n’est qu’un élément, certes central, mais reste un élément seulement d’un vaste écosystème industriel et économique constitué de nombreux acteurs : avionneurs, aéroports et compagnies aériennes pour les plus visibles, mais également services de navigation aérienne, ou encore autorités de régulation…

MOOC-Avion : Comment vole un avion ? (FUN) FUN
ISAE-SUPAERO

MOOC-Avion : Comment vole un avion ? (FUN)

Cela fait à peine plus d’un siècle que les avions volent. Et, de fait, le vol défie souvent l’intuition de l’animal terrestre que nous sommes. Comment vole un avion et comment éviter qu’il échappe au contrôle du pilote ? Jusqu’où peut-il s’élever dans le ciel ? Autant de questions auxquelles ce MOOC s’efforcera de répondre avec passion, simplicité et rigueur scientifique, en s’appuyant sur des explications visuelles, des mises en situation réalistes, des simulations et en se limitant au formalisme mathématique accessible à un élève de terminale scientifique.

Engineering of Structures: Compression (Coursera)

This course deals with compression. When we push an object, it compresses. Compression is what's going to hold up our building. Arches, vaults, domes, and anti-funicular forms help resist compression. In this course, you will learn about different columns and arches and their role in resisting compression. You'll also build anti-funicular forms.

Control of Nonlinear Spacecraft Attitude Motion (Coursera)

This course trains you in the skills needed to program specific orientation and achieve precise aiming goals for spacecraft moving through three dimensional space. First, we cover stability definitions of nonlinear dynamical systems, covering the difference between local and global stability. We then analyze and apply Lyapunov's Direct Method to prove these stability properties, and develop a nonlinear 3-axis attitude pointing control law using Lyapunov theory. Finally, we look at alternate feedback control laws and closed loop dynamics.

Agile embraces change which means that team should be able to effectively make changes to the system as team learns about users and market. To be good at effectively making changes to the system, teams need to have engineering rigor and excellence else embracing change becomes very painful and expensive. In this course, you will learn about engineering practices and processes that agile and traditional teams use to make sure the team is prepared for change. In additional, you will also learn about practices, techniques and processes that can help team build high quality software. You will also learn how to calculate a variety of quantitative metrics related to software quality.
