Theory of Flight

Ever marvelled at how a massive airliner gracefully lifts off, soars across continents, and touches down with pinpoint precision? Led by seasoned international airline captain and engaging aviation educator Bob Binning, this course unlocks the captivating science behind flight - in clear, everyday language. You'll explore how lift, thrust, weight, and drag work together to keep hundreds of tonnes airborne at nearly a thousand kilometres an hour, demystify jet engines, and understand the pilot’s art in take-off and landing. Whether you're a curious traveller or a lifelong learner, come gain fresh confidence next time you buckle up, and enjoy an insider’s look at the remarkable principles that connect Australia to London non-stop.
