    I have easily learn about the aircraft engine performance , some calculation and how to work ... I will easily work in future on aircraft engine so ya thay will good online course and he will confidant .
  • It's very educative course and interesting amazing how Aircrafts are propelled by jet engines and encourage all students those that are aspiring to join the Aerospace industry and those that are enthusiastic should join and take on this course it's mind blowing and will teach alot that you didn't know
