AVM 214 - Introduction to Aircraft Propulsion Theory, Design and Systems

Credits: 3

A broad introductory study in the theory of operation of heat engines utilizing principles of the Otto and Brayton cycles found in aircraft reciprocating and gas turbine powerplants. Students gain a solid understanding of the basic principles of the construction, design, lubrication, cooling, and exhaust systems, including maintenance practices of reciprocating and gas turbine powerplants installed in aircraft. Thrust reverser operation of gas turbine engines is also included. The course has a practical component that includes the inspection, fault analysis, servicing and repair of key engines systems covered in the course.
