Advanced Aerospace Vehicle Design

3 Credits

An overview of design methodology for next-generation aerospace vehicles such as satellites, reentry vehicles, hypersonic systems, and/or hybrid-electric aircraft concepts, focusing on the interdisciplinary analysis of structures, fluid mechanics, propulsion, and Guidance, Navigation, and Control. Case studies will be used to explore real-world vehicles and students will complete a systems-level design of a flight vehicle concept of their own choosing based on specified mission requirements.
