Academic year 2022/2023
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jaroslav Juračka, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: LÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The objective of the course Aircraft Manufacture I is to inform of aircraft manufacture specific attributes and methods and procedures, which are necessary for design specialists.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students acquire the knowledge necessary for evaluation of technological methods, design from technology point of view and for technology planning of heat treatment, forming, composite manufacture and joining.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of the structure, phase transformations and properties of metal structural materials. Basic technological principles and methods of materials processing - heat treatment, forming.
Course contents:
The course Aircraft Production I acquaints students with basic technological methods and procedures applied in aircraft production. Possibilities and procedures of heat treatment of light alloys and steels are discussed. Production of aircraft parts by sheet and solid forming using a solid and non-rigid tool. Production technology of composite and sandwich structures. Riveting of aircraft structures.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Condition for granting the credit is 90% attendance at seminars. It is also necessary to submit completed and sophisticated computational exercises. Obtaining the credit is a condition for admission to the exam. The exam is written.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at seminars is compulsory. In the case of legitimate absence, students are required to work out an alternative individual assignment. Continuous checking is done during seminars.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
    Laboratory exercise  2 × 1 hrs. compulsory
