Within this module students will be expected to work in groups to achieving a solution to a specific design problem involving a multi-disciplinary approach. Projects will involve conceptual, preliminary and detailed design and analysis of wing, horizontal and vertical stabilizer for a light-single engine aircraft, based on their review (or reverse engineering) of an existing aircraft they chose. Projects will run as part of industry-based design projects. Students will be required to produce highly technical design concepts. Each student will be required to take responsibility for particular and defined aspects of the design during the term which will form an important part of the assessment process. The work is presented with an overview of the team project, but with particular detail paid to the individual student contributions.
EG-D02
MSc Dissertation - Aerospace Engineering
The module aims to develop fundamental research skills. It comprises the development of supervised research work leading to a dissertation in the field of the Master's degree programme. The specific research topic will be chosen by the student following consultation with academic staff.
EG-M339
Spacecraft Structure Design
This module aims to introduces the fundamental concepts of spacecraft structure design. The structure design process, from spacecraft configuration, initial design, detailed analysis, production of structure and testing, is introduced, which provides insight into the structure design and analysis aspects of spacecraft.
The content includes:
· Spacecraft structure design process
· Spacecraft Design Loads
· Tests and Verifications
· Deployable Structures and Mechanisms
