Course Description
This course surveys the state of the art in aerospace systems, focusing on areas of current active development, preparing the student for the challenges likely to be encountered in practice. The course interweaves study of the fundamental challenges in aircraft, spacecraft, rockets, and integrated aerospace systems-of-systems with ethical issues encountered in the practice of aerospace engineering. Students will learn and apply fundamental governing equations for system feasibility and performance in aircraft, spacecraft, rockets, and integrated systems; areas of current rapid development; and the ethical principles required for responsible practice. The technical and ethical principles will be applied to a series of historical case studies and proposed future systems.
