EG-M354 Next Generation Sustainable Aircraft Technologies
This module introduces the advanced technologies and engineering approaches underpinning the transition to sustainable and net-zero aviation. Students will explore emerging propulsion systems and energy solutions, including Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), hydrogen propulsion, electrification, hybrid systems, detonation-based engines, and combined-cycle architectures. The module also considers aerodynamic efficiency, advanced materials, cryogenic fuel storage, and non-CO¿ climate impacts. Learning is supported through lectures and research-led seminars from industry and academia, covering developments such as hydrogen combustion, battery technology, bio-composites, solar flight, and aerodynamic optimisation. By the end of the module, students will understand the key technical and environmental challenges facing future aircraft and be able to evaluate innovative technologies for low-carbon and zero-carbon flight.

EG-M355 Spacecraft Material and Structures
This module provides an advanced introduction to the principles and practices of spacecraft structural design and material selection. It introduces the complete spacecraft structural design process, from initial concept development and configuration through detailed analysis, manufacturing, and structural verification. The module explores the selection and performance of metallic, composite, and emerging materials for space applications, considering the demanding environmental conditions encountered in space. Students will develop an understanding of the static and dynamic loading environments experienced by spacecraft, together with the associated testing and verification methodologies used to demonstrate structural integrity. The module also introduces the principles, design considerations, and applications of deployable spacecraft structures and mechanisms.
