Degree in Aerospace Engineering (AIRCRAFT ENGINE)

The Aircraft Engine Installation subject proposes the study of the different subsystems and auxiliary elements present in aeronautical engines of all kinds.

The main questions that are developed in the framework of the subject include a detailed analysis of the principles of operation and design of critical components for the correct operation of the engine, such as its control mechanisms, lubrication, power transmission or anti-fire among others. In view of the content to be developed throughout the course, it is advisable to have previously taken the courses on jet engines, turboprop engines and propellers, propulsion and reciprocating engines.

As a consequence of the strategic nature of aerospace engineering and industry, both in the past and today, it is not surprising that among the competencies associated with the aerospace engineering professions, explicitly include those linked to a necessary understanding of air defense systems and space propulsion. Rockets and Missiles are two types of aerial vehicles whose differentiating characteristics are, fundamentally, their propulsive systems (rocket engines), their control and guidance systems and their high flight speed.
