Goal(s)
The module is structured around 2 courses: “Applied aerodynamics”, dedicated to the external aerodynamics and “Combustion”.
At the end of this course, students will be able to :
For applied aerodynamics :
-Use polar curves to calculate the lift and drag of a plane
-Know lift elements characteristics: Wing, Horizontal Tail Plane, Canard plane …
-Calculate basic aerodynamic structure and its balance
-Evaluate a more complex case (air condition, shapes of the plane …)
-Calculate a flight phase (Take-Off, Landing, Cruise, Specific mission ….)
For combustion
-Know how to write and balance combustion equations
-Establish volumetric balances with or without excess air
-Know how to estimate calorific values and combustion temperatures
-Calculate combustion efficiencies
-Recognize the different types of flames

Content(s)
Applied aerodynamics
Objective: The course goes through all the basic concepts of aerodynamics for engineers, focusing on the external aerodynamics of aircraft.
Content: Aerodynamic forces. Aerodynamic characteristic of aircraft. Shockwaves. Transonic flows. Swept wing. Delta wing. Boundary layer. Hyperlift. Air intakes. Challenges of current warplanes. Aerodynamics outside aircraft.
The course of combustion presents the fundamental principles of combustion, with an application to aerospace propulsion
