Overview
What you will learn
On completion of the Rotorcraft UAM Aeromechanics and Propulsion Modelling course offered by Cranfield University , you will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental performance characteristics of rotorcraft.
- Critically evaluate the underpinning science required to analyse the aero-elastic behaviour of rotorcraft.
- De-compose the operational performance of integrated rotorcraft-engine systems to effects related to the performance of the airframe, rotors, and powerplant.
- Outline the fundamentals elements of rotorcraft/UAM propulsion system electrification including power electronic systems, battery technology, and system integration.
- Appreciate novel rotorcraft/UAM propulsion system technologies including hybrid-electric, advanced cycles, hydrogen, and fuel cell based.
- Appreciate the intertwining physical mechanisms (aerodynamic, thermodynamic, and dynamic) that govern the operational performance and environmental impact of rotorcraft and UAM aircraft.
- Estimate qualitatively the impact of operational parameters such as pressure altitude, ambient temperature, and All-Up-Mass on the performance of combined rotorcraft-powerplant systems.
