The University of Manchester
In cooperation with Airbus UK and The Royal Aeronautical Society
Synopsis
Calculation and optimisation of flight performance is required to design a new aircraft, efficiently operate existing aircraft or fleet, select a new aircraft, upgrade an aircraft, to provide data for aircraft certification, accident investigation, fleet management, flight regulations and safety.
This course will present advanced performance models for transport and military aircraft, including the unconventional ends of the envelope, some stability and control problems and aircraft design. [Flyer]
Benefits
The delegates will learn the state-of-the-art in aircraft flight performance, including computer solutions, optimisation methods, off-design performance, advanced manoeuvres, control with engine failure, environmental and noise performance, essential aviation regulations (FAR/ICAO/JAR).
Target Audience
The course will be of particular interest to professional engineers, aircraft designers, air traffic regulators, government research laboratory personnel, accident investigators, military personnel involved in technical management of aircraft, technical managers of aircraft fleet, pilot instructors, educators, PhD students in flight mechanics and related disciplines.
Course Programme
The course is based on lectures and group projects (computer simulations or case studies requiring problem analysis). Selection of the projects is according to area of interest of the delegates.
