AERO2460: Aerospace Design 1
2024 unit information
An introduction to aerospace design methods and certification requirements; design of fundamental aerospace structure components (struts, bolts, lugs, rivets, undercarriages, engine moments, external structures); and different loading conditions (design and off-design, gyroscopic, cyclic, vibration, landing). Students also learn how to produce standard engineering drawings using a CAD package. Students are expected to produce professional design reports to demonstrate compliance with regulations. The unit draws on the materials, statics, and mechanics units from year 1, together with year 2 units, with a particular emphasis on the application of these techniques in the aerospace context. It is the first of three core aerospace design units in the aeronautical engineering degree curriculum.
