Lectures

  • Semester 6, position 3

Goal

The task of the course is to introduce students with aircraft equipment and power systems, particularly with their functions, structures and basic principles. The course should give students a global view of all of the aircraft and power systems as well as their interconnection and integrity.

Outcome

Through the course students gain the ability to understand the various types of existing aircraft and power systems solutions. They gain knowledge about the different types of aircraft and power system structures. This gained knowledge should allow students who choose other fields of aerospace engineering to better understand the problems involved with aircraft and power systems and should present a good base for students who choose to specialize further in this area.

Theoretical teaching

Aircraft hydraulic systems, aircraft fuel systems, aircraft pneumatic systems, aircraft environmental systems, aircraft anti-icing systems, aircraft electrical systems, aircraft cabin systems, avionics, aircraft control systems, aircraft safety systems, aircraft automatic control systems, systems design and development, helicopter systems, power systems structures and their integrity, advanced systems, powerplant fuel system, powerplant hydraulic system, elements and methods for powerplant operation measurements.

Practical teaching

Practical teaching is related to presentation of sample problems, analysis and discussion with students in the fields previously treated theoretically. Aircraft hydraulic systems, aircraft fuel systems, aircraft pneumatic systems, aircraft environmental systems, avionics, aircraft control systems, aircraft safety systems, aircraft automatic control systems, systems design and development, helicopter systems, power systems structures and their integrity, advanced systems, powerplant fuel system, powerplant hydraulic system, elements and methods for powerplant operation measurements.
