Learning outcomes |
1. To understand the airplane: uses, types, configurations and nomenclature.
2. To gain basic notions about airplane development, from design to the functional prototype flight test, and the related
disciplines.
3. To familiarize with to Computer Aided Engineering (CAE): practicing further Computer Aided Design (CAD);
introducing Computer Aided Analysis (CAA) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), including Computer Numerical
Controlled (CNC) technology.
4. To experience the development of a small size remotely piloted airplane from the basic configuration sketch to the
flight test.
5. To obtain flight testing data as a way to feedback the iterative circle of aircraft design.
