Aircraft Design (recommended)

In a written exam (90 min.) the knowledge and ability for application of design aspects of high perfomance aircraft as structural design, mass estimation, propulsion systems and aerodynamics will be examined in forms of short questions regarding the contextual understanding and calculatory questions and tasks. As support means only a non-programmable calculator and a ruler are allowed.
