PERIOD: SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER The course aims to provide a complete overview of mathematical models used in particular in the aeronautical field for the study of the problems of interest of flight mechanics and dynamics, applied also to autonomous and unconventional aircraft. The course is also addressed to highlight the characteristics of the model structure based on engineering applications.

Fondamenti di meccanica applicata ed elementi di meccanica del volo.

The purpose of the course is the introduction of the students to a practical approach for the design of a simplified research simulator. Different systems will be studied, starting from classical aircraft to Unmanned systems. Moreover, the framework ROS, the robotic simulator Gazebo and the programming language Python will be introduced to the students, with a focus on applications. The problems outlined during the course are typical case studies of academic and industrial relevance, entailing the skills required to analyze the aeromechanical characteristics (performances, stability, and controllability) of different systems. Software-in-the loop (SITL), Hardware in the loop (HITL) will also be analyzed at the end of the course. The students, organized in teams, will experience the use of a flight simulator (without motion feedback) reproducing the major features of an airline aircraft (Airbus A-320), including the digital cockpit. A short range mission ” airport to airport” should be completed.
