Aerospace Engineering

About this course

Aerospace engineering is the discipline responsible for the design, development, and operation of aircraft and spacecraft, two categories of vehicle that demand extraordinary precision and that operate in some of the most unforgiving environments in engineering. The field covers aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, avionics, and systems integration, and it requires engineers who can work with high-performance materials, understand complex fluid flows, and design systems where failure is not an option. At Swansea you will develop expert training in the theory and practice of aerospace engineering, engaging with the aeronautics of jet-powered aircraft and propeller-driven planes, as well as with gliders, helicopters, and the growing domain of unmanned systems. The programme covers aerodynamics, structural analysis, propulsion systems, flight mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, and the
