Advanced Electric and Hybrid Flight Propulsion Systems

1.5 credits · Graduate

Analysis and design of advanced aircraft propulsion systems: jet engines; electrified propulsion; hybrid electric aircraft; principles of thrust generation for atmospheric flight: thermodynamic cycles associated with existing aircraft engines (ramjet, turbojet, turbofan, turboprop and gas turbines); functions of engine components (air intake, compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, nozzle); aircraft engine performance assessment including one-dimensional parametric cycle analysis of different air-breathing engines.
