Educational objectives Relationship aircraft mission & systems , operating principles of civil aircraft systems
|
Educational objectives The course gives a view of some space exploration systems with details
about the missions. The objective is to provide the basic elements of
aerospace engineering for analysis of exploration missions.
|
Educational objectives Knowledge and understanding;
At the end of the course the student will be informed about the following topics.
- How to get the thrust out of a propeller
- How does a turbo-prop work
- How does a piston engine work
- How to find an optimal design for a general aviation engine
Applying knowledge and understanding;
Ability to perform a preliminary sizing of the components of an aeronautical propulsion system, and estimate its performance through numerical tools produced by the students themselves during the group work.
The training objectives are pursued by using classroom exercises and work in progress reviews. The verification of acquired skills takes place during revisions and course lessons.
Making judgements;
The skills are acquired through frontal lessons, classroom exercises, and group work. The verification of knowledge is carried out through individual tests and through written group reports, which at the same time ascertain and promote the acquisition of the ability to communicate effectively in written and/or oral form.
Communication skills;
Ability to work in a team, to present the results of group work with presentations and short technical reports.
Learning skills.
Expertise to carry out a preliminary design of a general aviation engine powered by either a turboprop or a internal combustion engine. Ability to define a multi-objective design problem. Ability to use ModeFrontier, a robust, multi-objective optimization software.
|
Educational objectives The course objective is to introduce to the space systems design and
management of the system development. The global system design
problematics and the sub-systems sizing are addressedAttending the course, the space system design and management methodologies will be familiarized with.
In particular methods for the preliminary sysnthesis of a space systems requiremnts and development will be addressed.
|
Educational objectives At the end of the course, students will have the tools to perform basic static and fatigue design of an aerospace component made of either metallic or composite materials.
They will be familiar with the main processing technologies used for both metal alloys and composite materials, enabling an appropriate understanding of these materials and the most suitable ways of employing them in structures.
They will also be updated on the main techniques of characterization, assembly, and non-destructive testing, with a view towards the materials and technologies of future aerospace structures.
|
Educational objectives During the course we will study the theoretical tools necessary for the design and optimization of the performance of aerospace vehicle trajectories. Their application to the various fields of Flight Mechanics and Astrodynamics (such as interplanetary missions or the ascent trajectories of Launchers), will allow the student, also through the development of software, to deal with mission analysis problem. Furthermore, the knowledge acquired will constitute a solid preparation for studying optimization problems in different fields of aerospace engineering.
