What are aerospace systems?
Aerospace Systems includes the aircraft and ground-borne systems that assist with flight control, guidance and navigation. Many of the aircraft you see flying today are heavily reliant on their aerospace systems, and indeed much of the technology developed by aeronautical engineers can only be made to work with the use of these. For example, many modern aircraft are designed to be unstable to make them more fuel efficient or manoeuvrable, but they would be impossible to fly without their on-board systems. The technology also extends to systems essential for satellites. You take a range of subjects appropriate to aeronautics including aerodynamics, propulsion, and other subects appropriate to systems analysis including dynamics, electronics, control and computing. You take lecture courses, laboratories and tutorials, and both individual and group projects are conducted. Assessment is by a combination of examinations and coursework submissions (e.g., written reports, oral presentations).
