Fundamentals of aerotechnics

• Semester 2, position 2

The aim of this course is to introduce students to basic concepts in the field aerotechnics. The subject is presented in four integrated areas: aerodynamics, structures and construction, plant and equipment. In addition to popularize aviation, the aim of this course is to highlight the role of students in various fields aerotechnics mechanical engineering.

After passing the subjects the students are expected to understand the basic concepts and problems in the field of aerodynamics, structures, construction, aircraft engines and aircraft equipment. In doing so, it is expected that the student able to recognize and apply these disciplines of aviation technology in other areas.

In the theoretical part analyzes the following topics: history of aviation, aircraft types (basic components and their role), the concept of aerodynamic forces, the notion of aerofoil (geometric and aerodynamic characteristics), different aerodynamic aircraft structural scheme: a mathematical model aircraft-core performance, analysis of mass , center of gravity, the notion Centraza; budget based aircraft structures, types of forces acting on the aircraft, the flight envelope, elementary calculations of aircraft parts (motor mount, nose leg); historical overview of aviation design, aviation design types, analysis of the construction costs of aviation; basic elements of stricture wings and fuselage, making Straka fuselage; types of facilities, historical development, basic concepts (traction and thrust force), piston-driven propeller, the impact position driveline, turbo-jet aircraft, rocket-powered aircraft; place and role equipment and systems, installation and basic aircraft systems, encoders, instruments and equipment (Historically the development of constructive solutions), role of computers in design, construction and maintenance.

In the practical part of teaching the short working computational tasks and analyze the concepts and examples of various constructive aerodynamic types solutions (different types of aircraft,vehicles, wind, etc.). Students operate using a virtual workshop on the internet in case they are registered in groups. Students, as part of their group, work of reference for a given aircraft, and the exercises are consulted about the form, scope and content of work. The paper presents representative of the group, in the last week of classes. Planned students excursions one of aviation organizations to familiar the real structures and systems used in aircraft.

The work on the case is open a virtual shop on the Internet. MOODLE is used program. Students enrolling in the electronic workshop, a dress for the first time. In the workshop, students can access the professor notes, and additional material that advise the professor. As part of the work on subject is open a virtual workshop on the Internet. MOODLE is used program. Students be registered in the electronic workshop, and be trained for the first class. Using MOODLЕ students can access the professor notes, and additional material that advise the professor.
