| Using the aeronautical fundamentals learned in the prerequisite courses, cadet design groups apply the design process to develop and build an aeronautical systems design project. The following design areas are addressed: weight estimation, aerodynamic surfaces, stability and trim, component layout, drive trains, structural analysis, and miscellaneous subsystems. The semester-long course project is completed in phases, culminating in a final report and oral presentation. This course provides an integrative experience in support of the overarching academic program goal, and is often interdisciplinary in nature. |
