About this Course

Certificate in Aircraft Structures & Systems Module Synopsis Aircraft Structures and Mechanics The module covers the characteristics and design features of aircraft structures, general construction of the fuselage and main control surfaces, basic analysis of the stress and strain due to forces within the operating flight envelope, and the structural requirements imposed by the various aircraft systems. Beside this, it also equips students with the basic knowledge and skills to analyze problems of rigid bodies. Aircraft Systems The module covers aircraft hydraulic components and their working principles, hydraulic circuits, operating characteristics, hydraulic drives and application circuits, pneumatic, landing gears, fuel system and flight control surfaces. Students will also learn the basic laws governing the behaviour of fluids under the influence of energy transfer. Aircraft Environment & Auxiliary Systems The module covers aircraft environmental control systems, which air-conditioning, cabin pressurisation, oxygen system, as well as various auxiliary systems such as fire and ice protection system, water and waste system, and rain removal. It also covers the application of heat transfer, thermodynamics principles to flow and non-flow processes as well as power cycles
