Aim:
The course aims to give students a basic understanding of aeronautics from a system perspective, so that a good overall holistic view is obtained, and that a sound engineering approach to engineering is developed. After the course, the student should be able to:
- Understand the interaction between the different subsystems to achieve the desired functionality.
- Use simulation tools to analyze and optimize system performance, at the aircraft level.
- Understand the function of the basic aircraft systems.
- Implement control, communication and measurement systems for the small flying vehicles.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Aircraft and Vehicle Design, Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics, Engineering System Design
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:
The course is scheduled in close relation to Project work in mechanical engineering (aeronautics variant), where many of the efforts in this course find their application.
|
|
Organisation:
Lectures and group exercises.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
|
|
Course contents:
- Systems Engineering
- Systems architecture of aircraft on-board systems
- Certification
- Flight control system
- Actuator system technology for flight control: hydraulic, electro-hydraulic (EHA) and electro-mechanic (EMA) actuators
- Bleed air systems
- Fuel system
- Electrical power system, radar, radar cross section (RCS), etc.
- Modelling and simulation for system analysis.
- System optimization
- System reliability analysis / fault tree analysis
- Systems architecture for small unmanned vehicles (e.g. MAV).
- MAV, Sensors, servos, communication, onboard-computers.
A large part of the methodology of the course focuses on the holistic system where the subsystems studied in relation to the impact on airplane characteristics.
