Course Summary

The course provides you with an introduction to aerospace propulsion systems, including the following: internal combustion engines driving propellers, ramjets, turbojets and turbofans, rocket engines, and other thrust-producing systems. The course builds on the study of aero-thermodynamics covered earlier in the program by applying key principles to analyse propulsion system performance. An introduction into fundamental relevant flow processes, in particular heat transfer and combustion, is also included.
