MEng GCE A Levels ABB grades in Maths, Physics and one other subject. This is an extension of A level Maths applicable to engineering problems including numerical methods and computing. Computing Provides an understanding of computers along with computer programming for engineering problems. Extensive use is made of computers for calculating the airflow and displaying the results. The strength and stiffness of the aircraft structure is vitally important in the design since the passengers' safety is paramount.
Computers provide a valuable tool for calculating and displaying the stresses.
Materials High technology materials, such as composites are widely used in the aerospace and allied industries. There is the possibility that these materials can be coupled with computers to construct smart structures. More traditional materials are often based on aluminium alloys. This subject includes the study of the stability and performance of aircraft. In addition to the lecture course, the Department runs a flight test course in the Cranfield College of Aeronautics Flying Laboratory .
