Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge of airframe design and aircraft onboard systems so that they understand their function in terms of flight characteristics, reliability and safety of flight operations. | ||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
Students will gain knowledge and basic experience in the field of aircraft design and aircraft control systems. This knowledge is essential for the successful completion of the initial flight training. |
||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic knowledge of material science, mathematics and physics. | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
Aircraft and its parts, fuselage, types of structures, force loading, cabin windows. Wing, types of structures, wing loading, means of increasing buoyancy and resistance. Stabilization surfaces, vertical, horizontal, acting forces, fluttering, materials. Landing gear, types, construction, landing gear wheels, shock absorbers, landing gear vibrations. Aircraft control, requirements, control forces, means of relieving, balancing, warning devices. | ||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught in the form of lectures that have the character of explanation of basic principles and theory of the given discipline. The exercise is focused on practical mastery of the subject matter covered in the lectures. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the lectures 80%. Absence hours can be replaced by independent study and independent processing of prescribed tasks. Graded course-unit credit is based on test results. | ||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
If the participation in lessons is less than 80%, the student proves that he / she has elaborated and supplemented the lessons. Missed lessons can be compensated to a limited extent by consultations. | ||||
