Subject of the course: Students are familiar with the university’s structure and the research areas within the Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, particularly in aviation-related fields. They gain an insight into the teaching and research activities of the institutes, each of which represents an area of specialization in the Aeronautical Engineering master’s program. In accompanying workshops, students acquire experience in project-related teamwork.

307.111 Introduction to Aeronautical Engineering in TISS, opens an external URL in a new window

Subject of the course: This module provides methodological knowledge of modern lightweight construction, with a focus on sandwich and composite structures, their design, manufacturing, and application in aircraft components. It introduces the fundamentals of aerodynamics, propulsion systems, and efficient energy conversion, including airfoil and propeller performance as well as engine gearbox interactions. Students also learn to evaluate the effects of weight reduction on performance, emissions, and costs, and to estimate the flight duration and range of model gliders.

Subject of the course: The students are given a project task. A starter pack of necessary working documents is intended to support systematic problem solving from the outset. The task can be the design of an aircraft, the solution of an optimisation task or a more detailed investigation of a component or an aircraft system. Modern computer-orientated methods for design and off-design analyses are also used for this purpose.
