2 Why flight test in an undergraduate Aeronautical Engineering curriculum?
3
3 ….The Motivation The “Conceive-Design-Implement- Operate” (CDIO) initiative DWC joined the CDIO initiative in May 2006

4 CDIO at DWC Features of the DWC Application of CDIO –Students will be well-grounded in theoretical bases of engineering; –Small class size will allow for regular presentations and one-on- one communication; –Students will get extensive machine shop experience beginning with the first semester; –Students will have multiple open-ended design experiences beginning with the first semester; –Students will receive multiple concurrent engineering experiences, taking a product from design and analysis to simulation to manufacturing to assembly and testing; and –Students will have systems integration experience: sensors, controls, software.

6 Evaluate selected aspects of aircraft performance/flying qualities/systems for a customer to support decisions concerning system development, acquisition, specification or regulatory compliance, and operational use. Implement - Operate Conduct research and advance applied technology Conceive - Design CDIO and Flight Test

7 In line with CDIO Standard 8--active learning--that is, “Teaching and learning based on active experiential learning methods,” a flight test engineering experience was integrated into the Aeronautical Engineering program. An educational tool was developed to allow students to Master a deeper working knowledge of technical fundamentals in Flight Dynamics An “inflight laboratory exercise” supporting: EG 418 Flight Dynamics I – Aircraft Performance EG 419 Flight Dynamics II – Aircraft Stability and Control CDIO and Flight Dynamics
