Aerospace System Configuration, Design & Simulation

This course will provide knowledge to the students about the process & techniques of aerospace system design, meeting the specified design requirements. They will also learn about carrying out structural and aerodynamic analysis, performance evaluation of aircraft, and stability analysis.

Course Outcome

This course is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the procedures involved in the concept of aerospace vehicle systems and its design requirements and processes. Students will gain exposure to designing an aerospace vehicle and articulate its benefits in written and verbal forms. Furthermore, students will understand the methods for aero-elastic analysis, computational fluid analysis and advances in aerodynamics. also, air to air, ground to air, air to ground weapon system, UAV mounted GW and UCAVs.
