JNTUH B.Tech 2nd Year 1 sem (2-1) Introduction to Aerospace Engineering Syllabus Engineering R13

JNTUH B.Tech 2nd year Aerospace Engineering R13 gives you detail information about Aerospace Engineering subject.

Objective: To introduce to the student, the field of Aerospace Engineering.

UNIT – I History of Flight– the Aerospace Environment: Balloons and dirigibles, heavier than air aircraft, commercial air transport, introduction of jet aircraft, helicopters, missiles, conquest of space, commercial use of space, exploring solar system and beyond. Earth’s atmosphere, standard atmosphere, the temperature extremes of space, laws of gravitation, low earth orbit, microgravity, benefits of microgravity. The near earth radiative environment. The magnetosphere. Environmental impact on spacecraft. Meteoroids and micrometeoroids, space debris. Planetary environments.

UNIT – II Aerodynamics and Flight Vehicle Propulsion: Anatomy of the airplane, helicopter, launch vehicles and missiles, space vehicles. Static forces and moments on the vehicle. Understanding engineering models. Aerodynamics of wings and bodies. Generation of lift. Sources of drag. Force and moment coefficients, centre of pressure. Thrust for flight, the propeller, the jet engine, rocket engines- description, principles of operation. Governing equations.

UNIT- III Flight Vehicle Performance and Stability: Performance parameters. Performance in steady flight, cruise, climb, range, endurance; accelerated flight- symmetric manoeuvres, turns, sideslips, take off and landing. Flight vehicle stability- longitudinal and lateral- static, dynamic; trim, control. Handling qualities of airplanes.
