Course Objective: Familiarisation with the elements and systems of aircraft design.

Course Contents: Introduction. General terms. Aircraft design reliability and safety. Airworthiness requirements regarding strength and rigidity. Fundamentals of aircraft design. Basic elements of the aircraft: wing (purpose, shapes, aerodynamic characteristics, loads, elements of design, wing mechanisms, tail structures), fuselage (purpose, shapes, aerodynamic characteristics, loads, elements of design, wing-fuselage joints, tail structure-fuselage joints), flight governors (purpose, basic types of the governing systems), landing gears (purpose, basic dispositions of the landing gears, main forces and loads, amortisation principles), cabin (purpose, crew and passenger egress systems), general aircraft systems (fuel system, air system, oxygen system, air-conditioning and pressurisation systems, fire extinguishing systems, hydraulic systems). Aircraft standards and norms (ATA, JAR/FAR, LN).

General and Specific Competencies (Knowledge and Skills): General knowledge of the importance and role of basic aircraft design segments. Understanding the nature and type of loads on certain parts of the aircraft design. Assessment of the importance of possible structure damage and its influence on the status of aircraft airworthiness.
