Goal

Modern aircrafts are extremely complex products comprised of many subsystems, components and parts. It is the integration of these components and their interaction and interconnection that determine the overall success of aircraft. The goal of this course is to: - introduce students with the features of modern aircraft systems - deepen their knowledge of major aircraft systems: flight control systems, engine and fuel control systems, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, electrical systems, environmental systems... - introduce students to the emerging new systems and systems under development - introduce students to the system design and development with emphasis on commercial and military aircraft examples - investigate current-day avionics and features of modular integrated full glass cockpits.

Outcome

By successfully adopting the curriculum, a student: - acquires fundamental understanding of systems engineering and architecture. - have a working knowledge related to integrating an aircraft as a system. - will acquire relevant experience in applying systems engineering concepts, processes and methodologies in the context of aircraft engineering. -will gain insight into developing technologies and future trends in aircraft systems

Theoretical teaching

-Introduction to systems engineering and development -Flight control systems -Engine and fuel control systems -Hydraulic and pneumatic systems -Electrical systems -Environmental systems -Advanced and developing aircraft systems -Integration of aircraft systems: methodologies and tools used for integration of aircraft systems in order to deliver system that meets user requirements

Practical teaching

Contents of lab exercises follow the exposed material. Students will be introduced to examples from industry and the practical problems in the development and integration of individual systems. Through modeling of specific components of the system students master the skills necessary to work in the field of aircraft system engineering. Introducing students to the relevant regulations, standards and methods of aircraft system engineering they are prepared for work in the profession.

Attendance requirement

There is no necessary requirement for attendance of The integration of aeronautical systems and avionics.
