In this lecture Dr. Voskuijl will show an example of a high altitude aircraft, the Lockheed U-2. In doing so he will show what type of aircraft is needed for high altitude flight.

In the previous lectures we found the performance limits, i.e. what the aircraft can do. However this does not mean an aircraft is always allowed to fly where it can fly, as there are more limits… These are explained in the clip below.

In the previous lectures we have established performance and operational limits. Now how should the pilot know when the aircraft is reaching these limits? That is explained in this clip.

In this final lecture of the course, we will look at what we have learned so far in Module C and then look at some advanced topics of flight mechanics you’ll encounter if you continue your studies in the field of aeronautical engineering. Enjoy!
