About the Course

Elements of Aeronautics:

This course is designed to make the students aware about the basics of aeronautics and to make them understand about the physics behind the operation of flight. This course deals about the components, operations of airplane, Aerodynamics, Aircraft Materials and structures, Power plants used in airplane and the aircraft systems. At the end of this course, students can able to identify the aircraft and can able to explain the concept of flying to other interested students.

Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

Identification of aircraft: Identify the aircraft and can able explain its types

Aerodynamic behaviour: Understand the aerodynamic behaviour of airplane when it moves in various Mach number

Materials and structures: Explore about the various materials used in airplane and the know the structural behaviour of the materials

Power Plants: To know about the working principles of piston and jet engines used in airplanes

Become beginner in aeronautics: By the end of the course, students will be able to know everything basics of an airplane- operations, behaviour against the air, structural and power plant effects.
