This course teaches the propulsion concepts required in the modern aerospace industry. From subsonic turbines through hypersonic airbreathing engines and into in-space propulsion, the current state-of-the-art technologies will be analysed. Completing this course will provide the skills required for a career in aerospace propulsion engineering.

This course will present an introduction to aerospace propulsion concepts, explaining the fundamentals of propulsion and different types of propulsive devices. This course teaches the tools required to analyse propulsive systems for design purposes. The emphasis will be on rockets and airbreathing propulsion, and there will be an introduction to space propulsion concepts.

1. Appraise propulsions systems using thermofluids concepts;
2. Predict the performance of different propulsion systems;
3. Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of propulsion systems;
4. Design a practical propulsion system.
5. Discuss qualitative estimates of propulsion system economic supply chain cost impact on design process, manufacturing and operation including recognising imposts on the environment.
