- Synopsis:
-
The course is intended as an introductory course in the field of aircraft technology for bachelor students. The course serves as a theoretical support of the project and bachelor thesis in the field of aircraft technology aimed at aircraft structures, engines and space. The first block is focused on obtaining an overview of aircraft structures and their operating loads, aircraft materials, production technologies and aircraft systems. The second block introduces the basics of aerodynamics. The follow-up enginer section deals with the principles and types of aircraft propulsion units. The space section presents input information inthe field of space technology.
