Subject syllabus

Subject Control Systems aircraft is divided into an analytical and information-synthetic and experimentally, the two areas linked to each other for practical exercises in the laboratory and design project of semester. In the theoretical part of the course, students become familiar with the presentations by subject matter discussed, and subsequently applied in experimental and design exercises.
The main objective of the course control systems of aircraft is to teach students to focus on the methods and means of sensors and control systems with emphasis on aeronautical engineering, design and solve sub-tasks associated with the design and assessment of measurement and control chain, according to the particular specification, design and implement practical given the experimental task in in teamwork.
The second aim is to analyze the current state of implementation of instrumentation for measurement and control systems. After completing the course students should be able to formulate principles of typical sensors and diagnostic systems, aircraft, analyze its structure, to explain the nature of the function of individual components, converters, control units, to assess their current development and to predict further development of measurement, sensor and control technologies and air grain resources.
