MG 488 Aircraft Systems and Flight Engineering

This course entails study of the theory, components, and practical applications of systems in simple glider aircraft up to advanced turboprop, turbojet, and turbofan aircraft. It examines electrical, turbine engines, lubrication and cooling, and other systems. For spaceflight, contrasts will be made between the latest Boeing and SpaceX crew capsules to be used for near Earth, Lunar, and even interplanetary space exploration and former crewed spacecraft such as the Shuttle and Apollo. Systems concepts, makeup, and operations will be reviewed.
