13: Hands-on Laboratories
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
The aim of this chapter is to provide the student with a series of laboratory exercises such that theoretical content and exercises can be contextualised. Different open-source (or academic free-basis licensing) softwares will be used: namely, XLFR5, for solving an airfoil design exercise in Section 13.1; Python to integrate the equations of motion of an aircraft in Section 13.2; and Eurocontrol’s Nest to analyse Air Traffic Management after producing an operational flight plan in Section 13.3.
