Course overview

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the role of professional aerospace engineers, along with the development of fundamental engineering knowledge and skills for aerospace vehicle design, analysis, performance, and operation. Students will learn through experience to develop professional skills in research, interpretation, communication, and presentation of information relating to aerospace engineering, including aircraft types, atmosphere properties, aircraft geometries, forces and moments, aerodynamics, flight performance, stability and control, thrust, aircraft loads, and helicopter aerodynamics.

Course learning outcomes

  • Analyse the design and performance of modern aircraft
  • Explain aircraft systems such as engines, V/STOL technology, flight system, aircraft stability and control systems
  • Explain fundamental theories in Aeronautical Engineering, such as propeller momentum theory etc
  • Demonstrate problem-solving skills i.e. identify main issues in aeronautical problems, simplify the problem and solve it using standard tools
  • Explain aircraft performance
