Program Overview

AERONAUTICAL PROPULSION AND AEROENGINES

Course Overview

The course is divided into two modules. The Aeronautical Propulsion module focuses on the analysis of aircraft requirements during different flight phases and on the study of the different types of aeroengines. The Aeroengines module provides students with the basic rules for the preliminary design of the different aero-engine components, in order to satisfy the required thrust, and the thermodynamic constraints imposed by the cycle analysis.
