Institute of Aerospace Engineering

Students learn of classification of rotary wings-aircraft, lifting rotor and helicopter aerodynamics, structure of helicopter parts, aerodynamic calculations of helicopter.

Basic knowledge of low speed aerodynamics and basics of flight mechanics – flight performances and properties.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

The course-unit credit requirements: the attendance at lectures and exercises is compulsory (80% at the minimum) and completion of basic aerodynamic calculation of a helicopter.

The course objective is to provide students with the basic knowledge of aerodynamics and design of structures of helicopters.

Lectures and exercises are compulsory, and the attendance (80% at the minimum) is controlled and recorded. The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer and elaboration of individually assigned topics and exercises. Individual tasks must be finished and handed in the credit week at the latest.
