Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

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.
