Aircraft Propulsion

NPTEL is offering online course for undergraduate/ postgraduate students in Aircraft Propulsion.

About the course:

• This course deals with the gas power cycles for aircraft propulsion.
• Therefore different types of aircraft engines, their parts and their performance parameters are discusses.
• Then the cycle analysis and its different attachment for improvisation are also focused.
• Further, different parts of aircraft engines like compressor, turbines, combustor and nozzle are discussed in detail.
