Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Aircraft and Vehicle Design, Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics

Intended learning outcomes

To allow students to bring together their previous studies in aeronautics to a practical aircraft design project and in so doing develop the understanding of the disciplines and interrelationships in aircraft design.

Course content

This course will utilise the skills learnt in previous aeronautical courses to undertake the conceptual design of an aircraft. Scope of the course:

The design process
Aircraft configurations, conventional as well as unconventional
Safety and safety requirements
How to do fuselage-, wing- and stabiliser layouts
Weight and balance
Powerplant and installation
Landing gear design and installation
Introducing the design program, how it´s built up and functions

Teaching and working methods

Instruction is carried out in the form of lectures, classes and a major project, made by the help of an in-house produced design program
