About the course
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 function of the basic aircraft systems.
- Understand the interaction between the different subsystems to achieve the desired functionality.
- Use simulation tools to analyse and optimize system performance, at the aircraft level.
- Implement control, communication and measurement systems for UAVs.
Content
- 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.
- Sensors, servos, communication, onboard-computers for UAVs.
A large part of the course focuses on a holistic system point of view where the subsystems are being studied in relation to the impact on the airplane characteristics.
