In order to attend the course, students must have a deep knowledge of physics (kinematic, static, dynamic, thermodynamic, electrical, optical, acoustic studies…). Overall, skills on aircraft (configurations and main features) are desirable. The knowledge of aerodynamic, flight mechanics, aeronautic structures and propulsion principles could be an aid for the students.

This course provides basic concepts of helicopter systems, with associated structures and substructures. The course intends to reach the “integrated helicopter view” in which each part is connected to the “helicopter main system”. This interdisciplinary approach facilitates the scientific development of the students.

The course aims at developing the student’s skills of helicopter system. In particular, it is expected that the students will know:

- the main features of helicopter structures;

- the architecture of the main common helicopters;

- the certification specifications about helicopter vehicles;

- the helicopter substructures in a correct manner;

- the mechanical vibrations;

- the fasteners design.

The students are encouraged to:

- carry out simple planning applications;

- estimate order of magnitude of values in case study of a vehicle benchmark;

- learn technical terminology (English vocabulary)

The course is delivered with class activities, where the teacher presents methods, models and experimental experiences.

The exam consists of written and oral tests, based on questions, where the student is required to demonstrate his understanding of some specific facts of helicopter configuration.

- Drive System

- Main Gear Box and Boundary Conditions

- Mechanical Vibrations

In order to attend the course, students must have a deep knowledge of physics (kinematic, static, dynamic, thermodynamic, electrical, optical, acoustic studies…). Overall, skills on aircraft (configurations and main features) are desirable. The knowledge of aerodynamic, flight mechanics, aeronautic structures and propulsion principles could be an aid for the students.

This course provides basic concepts of helicopter systems, with associated structures and substructures. The course intends to reach the “integrated helicopter view” in which each part is connected to the “helicopter main system”.

In order to attend the course, students must have a deep knowledge of physics (kinematic, static, dynamic, thermodynamic, electrical, optical, acoustic studies…). Overall, skills on aircraft (configurations and main features) are desirable. The knowledge of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, aeronautic structures and propulsion principles could be an aid for the students.

This course provides basic concepts of aerospace systems (on aircrafts and aerospace vehicles), with associated infrastructures and services. The course intends to overcome the “sectorial view” of a system, in which the subsystems are considered independent entities, and to reach the “integrated view” in which each subsystem is connected to the “aircraft/spacecraft system”. This interdisciplinary approach facilitates the scientific development of the students.

The course aims at developing the student’s skills of integrated aerospace systems. In particular, it is expected that the students will know:

- the features of aerospace missions and the involved systems;

- the several aerospace systems (on aircrafts and space vehicles);

- the architecture of the main systems: navigation system, monitoring stations, infrastructural supports…

- the linking between several subsystems, in order to carry out the mission efficiently;

- subsystem information in a correct manner, to understand the connection with the entire system;

- the reliability of complex systems.

The students are encouraged to:

- carry out simple planning subsystems applications;

- estimate order of magnitude of values in case study of a system benchmark;

- learn technical terminology (English vocabulary)

The course is delivered with class activities, where the teacher presents methods and models and with seminars given by university professors experts in these sectors.

The exam consists of written test, based on questions, where the student is required to demonstrate his understanding of some specific facts of systems configuration.
