Course Description

For each of the following topics, theories will be studied and problem-solving exercises will be assigned: the history of aviation technology, standard atmosphere, outer space, types of aircrafts and the structures, lift and drag, flaps, parasitic drag, engine thrust, turbofan engine, engine performance, aircraft capabilities, stall speed, required thrust, ascent performance, cruising range, static stability and dynamic stability, longitudinal and lateral stability, flight control, aircraft instrumentation, navigation and guidance, structural design and strength, and material science.

Course Objectives

In this course, the student is expected to gain a vast knowledge of fast-paced aviation engineering, along with the basic concepts of aerodynamics, aviation engineering, propulsion engineering, stability control, structural strength, and material science, all of which will be helpful in expanding the student's knowledge base.

Grading Policy

It depends on the final exam (100%). Besides the attendance rate, there are requirements to take the final exam. Read the following "Note".
The automatic scoring of LMS exercises is part of the feedback, and in the 14th lecture gives an emphasis on feedback throughout the lecture.

Requirements(Assignments)

Read the textbook thoroughly in advance. The next lecture materials will be posted on the LMS, so read in advance. (1.5 hours)
As a review, have LMS exercises submitted within one week after the lecture. I set it so that you can try several times, so I think that you can review while checking your own understanding situation by trying while reviewing. (1.5 hours) The final exam will be based on this test. In addition, the final exam can not be taken if you do not submit it properly, so read the following "Note" carefully.

Note

Students can not take the web test at the end of the term if the number of submitted LMS tests for understanding check after lecture is not more than two thirds of the total number of LMS tests.
