Rotorcraft and VTOL Design Basics

What it is about

You will learn basics and methods for the design of rotorcraft and VTOL aircraft. The module covers flight physics, rotor and propulsion systems, performance and mission calculations, as well as systematic design processes, so that you can evaluate and derive simple configurations and designs for typical missions at the end.

What you will be able to do

• Apply different design methods and modeling approaches for rotorcraft and VTOL
• Define important subsystems in terms of overall system performance
• Evaluate and optimize configurations under typical mission profiles
