Transcript Abbreviation:
AdvFltVehDesign
Course Description:
The course introduces advanced flight vehicle design techniques applied during the conceptual design phase. The optimum design process and problem formulation is introduced, with an in-depth focus on multivariate graphical optimization techniques for aircraft. We will conduct optimal design based on first principles, and apply best practices to multidisciplinary flight vehicle design.
