Forces, Flight, and learning with UAVs (Drones): Lesson 1 of 4
This is the first lesson in a series of 4. Students gain an understanding of the forces that are acting upon a drone when it is flying. They will learn about how thrust, weight, lift and drag work together to allow controlled flying of a UAV (drone). Links to helpful resources are provided in the lesson and allow the teacher to determine the depth of content coverage while teaching this lesson.
This lesson also contains the links to every lesson in the series.
