Learning Outcome

Distinguish the different types of electrical motors and the related drive units.
Compare the electrical layout of different classes of aircrafts.
Appraise the elements of aircraft instrumentation and integration of the system to meet the control, navigational and operational requirements of aircraft.
Illustrate the terminologies used in aircraft control.
Demonstrate the effects of external forces on the aircraft control system into control component specifications.
Apply different subsystems that form the aircraft control system in block diagram form and formulate transfer function of each subsystem.
Formulate test procedures to evaluate performance of aircraft control system and interpret results.
Infer the laboratory sessions to physical systems in aircraft and getting feel of actual aircraft systems.
Interpret case studies with theory learnt and relate relevance of lecture material to systems operational in latest aircrafts.
