"The World of UAVs – Shaping Tomorrow's Aviation Pioneers" is an advanced academic course offering participants a fascinating and in-depth journey into the world of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The course uniquely combines historical, technological, and practical aspects of the evolving aviation industry, with a special focus on UAVs and their crucial role in shaping the future of aviation. Participants will explore the historical development of aviation, learn about the pioneers who shaped the industry, and deepen their understanding of current and future challenges in the field.

Course contents include an in-depth study of aeronautics and aerodynamics, covering advanced topics such as airfoil profiles, forces acting on aircraft in flight, Bernoulli's principle, and various flight conditions including aircraft stalling. Participants will learn about the structure of various aircraft, diverse propulsion systems including piston engines, jet engines, and electrical systems, and analyze advanced avionics systems, including flight control, command, and navigation. The course delves into understanding global aviation and UAV regulations.

Special emphasis is placed on developing systems thinking, providing tools for solving complex problems and risk management, while integrating practical experience in operating UAV systems and mission planning. Participants will experience planning and executing autonomous missions in various operational configurations such as "Joystick Control," "Fire and Forget," and "Fly There," deepen their understanding of aviation concepts, and participate in aviation workshops, including Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) and Aviation Incident Investigation workshops.

The course provides participants with a unique opportunity to be exposed to advanced applications in security, precision agriculture, and aeronautical engineering, using advanced technologies such as photogrammetry, Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), and "remote sensing." Additionally, the course deepens understanding of the human factor in aviation, aviation safety, and offers a look into the future of urban transportation and the role of UAVs in it, including advanced topics such as air traffic management and U-SPACE.

This combination of advanced theory, practical experience, and exposure to innovative technologies makes the course a rich and formative learning experience, preparing participants to be part of the future generation of leaders in the aviation and UAV industry. The course is designed for gifted and outstanding participants who aspire to be at the forefront of technology and innovation in the field of aviation and UAVs.
