Thank you.

0.1.2 Course set-up of Sustainable Aviation: The Route to Climate-Neutral Aviation

Course subject(s) Module 0: Welcome to Sustainable Aviation: The Route to Climate-Neutral Aviation

Welcome!

We’re very happy to have you ‘on board’ for this course on Sustainable Aviation!

This introduction will give you some information on what to expect in the coming modules.

Course set-up

This course will consist of six modules:

  • In module 1 you will be given an introduction to aviation, and how it impacts the environment.
  • In module 2, we will look at how aircraft function in more detail, and will consider the propulsion systems.
  • In module 3, we will address the propulsion systems in more detail, as well as the energy carrier, like fuel or batteries, to power them.
  • In module 4, we will dive deeper into novel aircraft design.
  • In module 5, the design, production and lifecycle of an aircraft will be discussed.
  • In module 6 we will conclude the course with a more in-depth look at airport and airline operations.

In each section, you will be presented with a few lectures. Some of the modules will feature some bonus content, showcasing real-world examples of the theory we cover.

 

Good luck!

We hope that you will enjoy this course, best of luck!
