Aims

The build upon the basic Aerospace Design Exercise from year 1 of the programme to enable the students to analyse, discuss and design the components of general aviation and large civil aircraft and to lay the foundation for more detailed Aerospace Design in years 3 & 4.

Learning Outcomes

(LO1) Students will be able to evaluate different aircraft platforms, discuss their sustainability and assess their suitability against a set of requirements

(LO2) Students will be able to choose from and apply a range of suitable calculation methods applicable to the early stages of an aircraft design

(LO3) Students will be able to perform preliminary design of general aviation and large commercial aircraft

(S1) Problem solving skills

(S2) Numeracy

(S3) IT skills

(S4) Group work

(S5) Report writing

Syllabus
 

Lectures/computer labs and example questions will cover:
Analysis of customer requirements
Geometry definition and different configuration possibilities
Definition of Mass Properties Basic aerodynamics sizing
Basic structural design of aircraft Propulsion system analysis
Flight performance analysis
Throughout the module, the learnt techniques will be used to perform the different stages of the design process.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Teaching Method 1 – Online smart lecture
Description: Shorter lectures delivered through Zoom or Teams, supplemented by asynchronous material (such as worked examples)
Attendance Recorded: Yes
Notes: Lectures to provide background material and methods to allow Design Process to proceed. Material provided through Canvas.

Teaching Method 2 - Online seminars
Description: Small-group support sessions to discuss problems during project based assessment
Attendance Recorded: Yes

All learning and teaching methods are fully flexible either as (a) hybrid with online smart synchronous lectures, asynchronous material and small-group face-two-face on-campus support sessions, (b) fully online or (c) fully on-campus face-two-face.
