Focus Course - Aerospace Engineering
Headstart at Liverpool is organised around the multi-disciplinary theme of aerospace engineering and is led by the Flight Science Group. This Group is currently working with industry and the civil and military authorities on a variety of projects including the European tilt rotor aircraft, CFD aerodynamics and display systems for flight in poor visibility. Course subjects include -
-
airframe structures and materials
-
avionics
-
flight technologies and aerodynamics
-
design and manufacturing issues for aircraft
During the programme, students work in small teams solving specific aerospace problems. CAD and other computing facilities are used, and there are opportunities to fly the Bibby Flight Simulator in fixed wing, helicopter or tilt rotor mode. The simulator offers a unique opportunity for students to develop new aircraft concepts during the week. Optional sport and other evening leisure activities reflect the richness of life and work in the City of Liverpool.
Headstart at Liverpool features 'Dragonfly', an exciting new module for girls. See the website News Page for more details.
Dragonfly at Liverpool is supported by The Royal Air Force and we are pleased to welcome their participation as Lead Sponsor for the Dragonfly programme. |
