High Speed Flight

Code 10381
Year 4
Semester S1
ECTS Credits 6
Workload TP(60H)
Scientific area Aeronautics and Astronautics
Entry requirements No prerequisites
Mode of delivery This unit classes are theoretical-practical. Theoretical foundations are presented initially and after the practical applications, with examples of calculation. Presentations are made using a computer and video projector. Calculations are made at the white board. All documentation is provided to the students on an e-learning platform.
Work placements There is no work placement.
Learning outcomes Knowledge of fundamental concepts related to high speed flight.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The classes of this course unit are theoretical-practical. The theoretical foundations are presented initially and then the practical applications, with examples of calculation. Presentations are made using a computer and video projector. Calculations of the practical component are done in the table. All documentation is provided to students on an e-learning platform.
Periodic assessment is based on an exam.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
