Supervisor: | doc. Ing. Jiří Hlinka, Ph.D. | |||
Supervising institute: | LÚ | |||
Teaching language: | English | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
Students will learn principles and technologies of the aircraft onboard systems. | ||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
Students will gain the basic knowledge and experience of function and construction of aircraft onboard systems. The knowledge is necessary for aircraft designing, service and maintenance. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic knowledge of mathematics and physics. Fundamentals of Electrical engineering. | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
Course is focused on building of knowledge in the area of aircraft on-board systems. Attention is given to hydraulic system, pneumatic systems, electric systems, flight control systems, fuel systems, pressurization, heating and air-condition systems, de-icing systems, and fire protection systems. | ||||
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 supplemented by practical individual and team work. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
The course-unit credit requirements: The attendance at exercises is compulsory (80% at the minimum). The exam is written or oral. | ||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
The attendance at seminars is compulsory (80% at the minimum). The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer and working out individually assignments. Individual assignments must be finished and handed in during the course-unit credit week at the latest. | ||||
