Course detail

Aircraft Design III

FSI-OK3-A Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester

The course is concerned with the following topics: Design of space lunchers, including the strength. It provides a systematic interpretation of the conceptual layout, types of structures and their elements and the fundamental problems of the proposal.

Language of instruction

English

Number of ECTS credits

5

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Knowledge of basic tasks in the design of space technology.

Prerequisites

The basic knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, structure and strength.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

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

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit requirements: participation in the course (80% at the minimum), all elaborated assignments must be hand in on time. The exam is of oral form, three lot-drawn questions and if necessary, the lecturer asks one additional question.

Aims

The objective of course is to introduce the students with the fundamentals of space technology, especially in view of the structure.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Lectures and seminars are compulsory, and the attendance (80% at the minimum) is checked and recorded. The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer.
