OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce the concepts of flying, International standard atmosphere, structural aspects of airplanes, brief description of systems, instruments and power plants used in airplanes.
UNIT I | HISTORY OF FLIGHT | 8 |
---|
Balloon flight – ornithopters - early airplanes by wright brothers, biplanes and monoplanes, developments in aerodynamics, materials, structures and propulsion over the years.
UNIT II | BASICS OF FLIGHT MECHANICS | 9 |
---|
Physical properties and structure of the atmosphere, temperature, pressure and altitude relationships, newton’s law of motions applied to aeronautics - evolution of lift, drag and moment. aerofoils, mach number, maneuvers.
UNIT III | AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATIONS | 10 |
---|
Different types of flight vehicles, classifications. components of an airplane and their functions. conventional control, powered control, basic instruments for flying - typical systems for control actuation.
UNIT IV | AIRPLANE STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS | 9 |
---|
General types of construction, monocoque, semi-monocoque and geodesic constructions, typical wing and fuselage structure. metallic and non-metallic materials, use of aluminium alloy, titanium, stainless steel and composite materials. stresses and strains – hooke’s law – stress - strain diagrams - elastic constants.
UNIT V | POWER PLANTS | 9 |
---|
Basic ideas about piston, turboprop and jet engines - use of propeller and jets for thrust production - comparative merits, principles of operation of rocket, types of rockets and typical applications, exploration into space.
