Conceptual Design of Aircraft

Module code: EMS611U

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM1

Contact: Dr Eldad Avital

This module will consider mission-based subsonic aircraft design methodology: Weight estimation, sensitivity analysis, take-off, and landing performance, Bréguet range equation for turbofan aircraft and piston engines/turboprop aircraft. It will cover aerodynamic design: subsonic-supersonic compatibility, wing and body design, supersonic drag and area ruling, sonic boom, radiation, take-off noise. It will also consider
air-breathing Engine Design and Noise in Propeller and jet-driven aeroplanes including performance calculations and new developments in electric propulsion and other concepts of propulsion.
