This is the basic/introductory rotorcraft course offered at Georgia Tech and it should be taken by any student that is interested in rotorcraft and wants to lay a foundation for future work in rotorcraft. The aim is to provide students with a basic understanding of rotor aerodynamics and dynamics, how rotors and rotorcraft work, derive and teach the fundamental rotor theories, calculate helicopter performance, trim, and introduce rotor dynamics and rotor controls.

Preparation for a professional career in Robotics. Local & visiting speakers. Program introduction. Technical resume preparation. GT Robotics labs & resources.
