Practical introduction to the design and structural components of modern aircraft with insights into dimensioning principles and certification requirements. Topics include: Properties, advantages and disadvantages of basic lightweight materials (metals, fiber composites, sandwich structures, GLARE), joining techniques (riveting, bonding, welding), lightweight construction methods, specific construction methods of fuselage, wings, tail unit, etc., design with regard to flight loads, stability and damage tolerance, aircraft production. The exercises include sample tasks for corresponding designs. Guest lectures from industry and excursions round off the practical relevance.
Students are familiar with basic structural components in aircraft construction as well as the approaches and procedures for their design and dimensioning. They know different lightweight materials, construction methods and joining techniques, their properties as well as selection criteria and preferred areas of application in aircraft construction. In addition, they will be able to apply basic design principles in calculations and evaluations.
