| Course Description | Aircraft Design I course provides important tools in understanding of aircraft design process. Mission requirements are the basic design goals for aircraft. The course provides basic information about aerodynamics, structure, propulsion, landing gears, performance, and configuration layout. It also includes some conceptual design examples such as single-seat aerobatic and lightweight super-cruise fighter aircraft. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
