Aerospace Technologies
During the training process, students acquire knowledge about types of aircraft, basic flight principles, and the current applications of aviation technologies.
Within the scope of the course, model aircraft applications are carried out focusing on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems, in which our country has achieved significant success. Propulsion systems and avionics used in aircraft are examined, and motor thrust measurements, basic control approaches, and Fly-by-Wire–like systems are studied practically in a workshop environment using the DENEYAP Kart. In addition, students model an aircraft in open-source simulation environments and carry out sample UAV applications controlled with Robot Operating System (ROS) commands.
By introducing the basic operating principles of rocket systems, students are enabled to design model rockets capable of reaching certain altitudes. A sample application representing satellite–ground station communication is also carried out in a workshop environment using the DENEYAP Kart.
At the end of the 12-week program, students gain the knowledge and skills to design a basic aircraft with its main components, test it in a simulation environment, and develop a small-scale UAV or rocket system. The course is completed with a research- and application-based project.
The Aviation and Space Technologies course is delivered through a face-to-face education model.
