The Short Course "Aircraft Design" was given again in Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) in the frame of the Summer Lecture Program 2019 from 08th to 19th July 2019.
ACTIVITIES IN 2018
The Short Course "Aircraft Design" was given in
Nanjing, China at
Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) in the frame of the
Summer Lecture Program 2018
from 09th to 20th July 2018. Lecturers from all over the world applied with their 200 course offers. 61 courses were selected by NUAA, inviting lecturers from 22 countries and 5 continents.
Only few students in my course had access to a laptop, but all had a smartphone. For this reason,
I presented Aircraft Design calculations with PreSTo-Classic for the first time also on smartphone.
Students used their smartphone also for a very simple Wing Design exercise. Each participant produced this little table on the smartphone:
WingDesign_simple.xlsx.
Aircraft Design was illustrated with OpenVSP-Connect.
ACTIVITIES IN 2016
The Course held in Xi'an (see below) was extended with a Short Course "Design of High Lift Systems (2)",
given from 28.11. to 01.12.2016 at
TechSAT in Germany
for 14 participants who where for the most part already among the participants in Xi'an.
The topics this time:
1.) Slat/Flap Actuation, 2.) Mechanisms and Gear Trains, 3.) Slat/Flap Support Mechanisms,
4.) Slat/Flap Aerodynamic Load Estimation, 5.) Software: Direct Operating Costs for Aircraft Systems (DOCsys),
6.) Presentation of High Lift Systems from Selected Aircraft.
A special Short Course "Design of High Lift Systems (1)" was given from 13.07. to 22.07.2016 at AVIC Qingan Group (QAG), Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. This short course discussed the needs for high lift together with high lift aerodynamics based on the Short Course "Aircraft Design". It was further based on material from my lectures "Aircraft Systems", "Development of Aircraft Systems" and the Short Course "Evaluation of Aircraft Systems". The material was complemented with special design techniques for high lift systems as well as many examples of high lift systems and components of passenger aircraft.
A Short Course "Aircraft Design" was given from 08.02. to 19.02.2016 at Vel Tech Technical University, Avadi, Chennai, India. It was followed by my and the student's participation at the IDAD 2016 Conference. The Short Course Notes for this Aircraft Design Short Course are now made public as part of the new Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU). More about my trip to India ...
HISTORY
The Short Course "Aircraft Design" was offered at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) in the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
In 2013 an in-house short course coupled with consultancy work was arranged for Embraer.
The course was given at Embraer's headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. In 2014 the Short Course was organized
in cooperation with the
Russian State Technological University named after K.E.Tsiolkovsky (MATI)
for a group of experienced "high potential" engineers.
From 08th to 11th June 2015 I participated as lecturer in the Short Course
"Airframe Systems Design"
at Cranfield University.
DGLR Short Courses
Two Short Courses where organized on behalf of the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DGLR)
and given at the annual congress:
2007: DGLR Short Course "Aircraft Design", Front Matter (PDF),
Folder offered by DGLR in "Luft- und Raumfahrt", 2008, Iss. 1, p. 42 (JPG),
Short Course Homepage
2004: DGLR-Seminar "Flugzeugkabine und Kabinensysteme", Front Matter (PDF),
CD (28.50 €) with Lecture Notes offered by DGLR (JPG), Entry at Amazon
Distribution of Folder and CD by DGLR.
FUTURE
I prefer to offer the complete Short Course for e. g. industry or organizations of higher education.
The course can run as an in-house course at the customer's premises. Please bring forward your ideas!
There is enough flexibility to adapt the content of the course and the timing to your needs.
My activities since 2013 give examples how this can be worked out.

FROM THE PAST
Leaflets and Time Tables from Previous Short Courses
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.
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 with an interest
or for PhD students who can gain a good foundation for their research.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of the module, delegates will
PRE-MODULE STUDY (voluntary)
Delegates are encurraged and to get familiar with the topic before arrival.
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,
