Rotorcraft Engineering - Vorentwurf

What it is about

You learn the preliminary design process for helicopters: from requirements through dimensioning to flight performance and estimation of costs and weight. In the end you can analyze and evaluate a helicopter concept in terms of feasibility, power requirements, and mission suitability.

What you will be able to do

• Understand steps in the preliminary design process
• Apply physical principles and assumptions of design
• Estimate power requirements and flight performance
• Perform cost and weight estimation
• Assess feasibility and mission suitability of a helicopter configuration

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying the fundamentals and central design contents
• ÜbungApplication of lecture content to design tasks, derivation of central equations and performance calculations

Teaching method

• PräsentationConveying the fundamentals and the complete design process
• GruppendiskussionenDevelopment of central content to deepen understanding
• Übungsaufgaben mit gemeinsamer LösungApplication of theory to practical tasks and discussion of results
