Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

Requirements, functioning and design of a nacelle (intake, cowl doors, nozzle), thrust reverser, engine build-up unit and mounts, assembly, maintenance, noise reduction, fire protection, development- and validation process, interface management, legal requirements and means of compliance, cost and cost reduction, future aircraft concepts and their propulsion integration.

Learning outcomes

The students will learn about the specification, the design realisation and the validation process of those components which are required to integrate a propulsion system into an aircraft. Furthermore, the required engineering processes to attain this task are provided. The students will therefore be prepared for the work at the interface between propulsion system and aircraft.

Assessment

• Oral examination, 60 minutes OR Written examination, 120 minutes In the first lecture it will be announced, if he examination will be offered in written or oral form.
