In consideration of the reference table AA of the program " Master's degree civil engineer mechanics ", this course contributes to the development, to the acquisition and to the evaluation of the following experiences of learning:
- AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3
- AA2.1, AA2.2, AA2.3
- AA3.1, AA3.2
- AA5.4, AA5.5, AA5.6
- AA6.3, AA6.4
Aims to provide an analytical description of systems used in aircraft propulsion, to model their behaviour and to introduce students to performance evaluation and component dimensioning.
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Written exam in 2 parts:
- theoretical questions
- exercises
Course notes are being prepared and will be made available in electronic format during the term.
Lecture slides will also be available
