This module will consider mission-based aircraft design methodology: Weight estimation, sensitivity analysis, take-off, and landing performance, Bréguet range equation, flight mechanics. It will cover aerodynamic design. It will also consider air-breathing Engine Design and Noise in Propeller and jet-driven aircraft including performance calculations and new developments in electric propulsion and other concepts of propulsion.
The aims of this module are to:
- Understanding the past, present and future trends in aeroplane design and the need for a new design
- Review and deepen the understanding of the physical principles of thrust generation by propellers and jet engines
- Scaling laws and their roles in design
