SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this lecture is to teach the students about the planes and the main plane parts such as; fusulage, wings, tail, landing gear and the engines.
Course Content: In this course students will learn how a plane flies, which forces are acting on an aeroplane, what are the control surfaces of an aorplane (aileron, flaps, slots, elevators, rudder and other control parts), also the movement axis of the planes ( roll, pitch, yaw axis), take off, landing and turning of the plane, propellers, engines (diesel, wankel, roket & jet motors; turbojet, turbofan, variable cycle jet engine, ramjet, pulse jet, combined cycle, turboprop), what are the aircraft structure materials, aircraft structures, fusulage, wings, empennage, landing gears, types of aircrafts (acording to the wings, engines, used areas) will be explained. Students will also learn avionic instruments and navigation. Finally rotorcrafts and helicopters will be explained.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) The main parts of an aeroplane ( wings, fusulage, tail, engine, landing gears) are known
  2) The student knows the forces ( lifting power, weight, trust/power, drag ) which affects planes are known.
  3) The student knows; roll axis, pitch axis, yaw axis and the movements of them.
  4) The student knows main control surfaces (ailerone, elevator, rudder) of a plane.
  5) Student knows auxilary control surfaces (flaps, slots, spoilers, wing lets, speed brakers, tabs) of a plane.
  6) The student knows the plane engines (piston engines, turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, turboshaft, ramjet, pulsejet).
  7) The student knows propeller types of a plane.
  8) The student knows aircraft structure materials.
  9) The student knows aircraft structure and the production methods.
  10) The sudent knows important avionic instrements (pitot tube, speed indicator, altitude, directional gyro, situation indicator)
  11) The student knows important navigation instruments ( NDB, VOR, TACAN, VORTAC, ADF, ILS)
  12) The student knows general knowledge about helicopters/rotorcraft).
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
