TARGET DELEGATES
The module is intended for graduated engineers, equivalent professionals and/or managers. It is likewise suitable for specialists in search of a broader perspective as for newcomers to the field. The course is also designed for aeronautical engineering students up to PhD-level with an interest in aircraft design.

AIM
The module gives an insight into the procedures and the multidisciplinary interactions of aircraft conceptual design. The process of iterative synthesis and analysis in aircraft design is illustrated. A software tool for preliminary sizing is demonstrated. Methods and data to enable case studies of subsonic aircraft design are provided.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of the module, delegates will

• know aircraft design parameters and methods.
• know the fundamental relationship of aircraft design parameters.
• be able to size and design an aircraft to the detail as covered during the module.
• have a capability to structure aircraft design activities systematically and efficiently.

PRE-MODULE STUDY
Delegates who are students on the European Postgraduate Master in Aeronautical Engineering (EPMA) are expected to read pre-course material and to consult reference literature. The list of books on Aircraft Design from our university library gives you an indication of what books you may consult.

MODULE CONTENT
Introduction, development process, requirements, certification standards, aircraft configurations, engine integration, preliminary sizing, fuselage design, wing design, empennage design, prediction of mass and CG-location, landing gear design and integration, drag prediction, design evaluation / DOC, special aspects of military aircraft design.

POST-MODULE ASSIGNMENT
Delegates will be offered an assignment. The assignment typically consists of an aircraft conceptual design study. Successful completion of the task is compulsory for those delegates who are students on the European Postgraduate Master in Aeronautical Engineering (EPMA).

PARTICIPATING ORGANISATIONS

HAW
With over 12000 students Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg, HAW) is the second largest institute of higher education in the Hamburg region and one of the largest of its kind (University of Applied Sciences) in Germany. Founded in 1970, HAW's roots go back to the 18th century. Its practice based teaching developed with industry, guarantees that participants can readily apply their knowledge. HAW aeronautical engineering graduates are well recognized and successfully engaged in all areas of aviation, nationally and internationally. The university has established a research focal point in aeronautical engineering. All research is done in close cooperation with industry.
