Degree in Aerospace Engineering (COMMON)

Aerodynamics is a part of the mechanics focused on the study of the actions of the air on the objects that move inside. Obviously, aerodynamics is a fundamental discipline in the activity of the aeronautical engineer. External aerodynamics refers to the study of the air around the airplane and its elements, while the internal aerodynamics refers to the processes it undergoes in ducts or confined spaces, such as the interior of the engines.

In this course, the basic aerodynamic processes are explored with the intention of understanding the design principles of aerodynamic airfoils and wings. The course includes techniques to understand the difference between non-viscid and viscid flows, as well as between subsonic and supersonic ones.

Aerospace technology is an introductory course to all the engineering disciplines involved in the current developments of aeronautical and space systems. Given the variety and complexity of these technologies, the content of the course tries to cover the fundamental systems that, in turn, allow a first understanding of the solutions adopted in the different subjects.

This includes the description of the standard atmosphere and the fundamentals of meteorology, fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. With these bases, the shapes of the airplanes their implications in the mechanics of flight are analysed. The types of engines and their elements are also part of the coverage of the course, which reviews in a descriptive way the rest of subsystems of the plane: hydraulic, electrical, fuel, etc.
