TMAL51 Conceptual Aircraft Design, 6 ECTS credits.
/Flygplansprojektering/

For:   M  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 64
Rec. self-study hours: 96

  Area of Education: Technlogy

Subject area: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (A-D): D

Aim:
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.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TMAL02 Aircraft and Vehicle Design, TMMV01 Aerodynamics, TMME50 Flight Mechanics

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

Supplementary courses:
TMAL55 Aircraft Design Project

Organisation:
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

Course contents:
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
