Detailed Overview:
B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering at IIAEIT Pune is an intensive undergraduate program that provides specialized knowledge in the Design, Analysis, Development, and Performance Evaluation of Aerospace Vehicles, Including Fixed-Wing Aircraft, Rotary-Wing Platforms (Helicopters), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAVs/Drones), Guided Missile Systems, and both Civilian and Defence Aviation Platforms.
The curriculum is engineered to build strong technical competence across fundamental and advanced aerospace domains such as Aircraft Configuration Design, Structural and Stress Analysis, Aerodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Gas-Turbine Propulsion, Flight Mechanics, Stability and Control, and Aircraft Performance Optimization.
Students develop analytical and computational proficiency through extensive hands-on exposure to CAD/CAE tools, finite-element structural modeling, CFD flow simulations, propulsion system performance studies, and virtual flight-dynamics simulation environments.
Technical depth is further strengthened through case-based learning on Operational Aerospace platforms, simulation-driven design reviews, Research-Oriented Assignments, and collaborative engineering decision-making modules.
With its strong focus on applied engineering and research integration, the program equips graduates with the technical foundation required for roles in aerospace R&D laboratories, space research centers, defence and missile development agencies, aircraft and engine manufacturing industries, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations, UAV system development companies, and international aviation and aerospace firms.
- Aircraft Control and Guidance:
Mathematical modeling of aircraft dynamics, stability derivatives, state-space control, autopilot design, navigation systems, and modern guidance algorithms for manned and unmanned platforms. - Aerodynamics:
Analysis of subsonic to hypersonic flow regimes, boundary-layer behavior, shock wave formation, lift and drag prediction, airfoil/wing optimization, and CFD-based aerodynamic simulation. - Structural Analysis:
Stress–strain computation, fatigue and fracture mechanics, composite material behavior, finite element modeling (FEM), buckling analysis, and structural optimization of airframes and spacecraft structures. - Propulsion Systems:
Thermodynamic cycle analysis of gas-turbine engines, compressor–turbine aerodynamics, combustion processes, nozzle flow, rocket propulsion principles, performance mapping, and thrust optimization. - Flight Mechanics:
Equations of motion, longitudinal and lateral–directional stability, performance evaluation (range, endurance, climb, turn rate), maneuvering characteristics, flight-envelope analysis, and simulation-based flight-dynamics assessment.
The program aims to prepare students to meet the technical challenges of the aviation and space industries, enabling them to contribute to cutting-edge research, innovation, and engineering solutions.
Program Highlights:
- Comprehensive theoretical and practical sessions
- Access to MOOCs and industrial certifications
- Emphasis on design and investigatory projects
- Opportunities for field and analytics projects
- Industrial training and research publication guidance
