Institute of Aerospace Engineering

Ability to determine basic technical aircraft data in the classic aircraft performance. Qualitative and quantitative appraisal of aircraft performance and stability and control from the point of view of operation and flight conditions as well as the optimal use of the aircraft.

Basics of mathematics – differential and integral calculus, common differential equations. Basics of common mechanics – force effect on a body, kinematics, dynamics.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Conditions to obtain the course-unit credit: attendance at exercises (80% at the minimum), presentation of calculation tasks records. The exam comprises written (the essential one) and oral parts. Evaluation fulfils FME BUT rules.

The goal is to explain basic flight mechanics of atmospheric aircraft, to familiarize students with methods of assessment and the importance of classical flight performance and a judgment of the influence of aerodynamic and propulsion characteristics, operating parameters and flight conditions on flight performance from the flight viewpoint.

Lectures and seminars are compulsory, and the attendance (80% at the minimum) is checked and recorded. The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer and elaboration of individually assigned topics and exercises. Individual tasks must be finished and handed in the week credits are awarded at the latest.
