Aircraft Manufacturing Laboratory

When designing an aircraft (part) during your degree program, you have only had to manufacture simple test articles, but were not involved in manufacturing aircraft parts, let alone a part of an aircraft that will actually fly. In this course you will work with a team of 15-20 students and contribute to build a real (to be certified) aircraft based on a commercially available kit. The aircraft will be built in the Delft Aerospace Structures and Materials Laboratory. The total manufacturing will be done with successive groups of students. In addition to the actual construction work, also the whole documentation and certification process need to be handled in a professional way. Furthermore accompanying work, like the construction of a trailer, PR, etc. will part of the job.
