The professional development program «Methodology for Designing Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles of Various Configurations»
Unmanned aircraft systems are one of the fastest-growing technology sectors. To create efficient UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), it is not enough to understand only individual structural components: it is essential to see the entire design process — from selecting the configuration and calculating performance characteristics to preparing documentation and supporting the product throughout its life cycle.
The professional development program “Methodology for Designing Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles of Various Configurations” will help participants understand the key principles behind the development of multirotor, fixed-wing, and hybrid UAVs, including vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles.
During the professional development program, you will learn how the overall design concept of an unmanned aerial vehicle is developed, what requirements are imposed on its structure, how the propulsion system is selected, how aerodynamic and flight performance characteristics are calculated, how the strength of components is assessed, and how the major systems and assemblies are designed.
You will learn to apply an engineering approach to UAV design: defining design parameters, analyzing aerodynamic configurations, calculating propeller thrust and power, selecting efficient technical solutions, and taking into account the specifics of operation, maintenance, and the life cycle of an unmanned aerial system.
The program is designed for professionals who want to gain a systematic understanding of unmanned aerial vehicle design and acquire practice-oriented knowledge for working with modern unmanned aircraft systems.
Take a step toward the profession of the future – master UAV design methodology together with experts from the aviation industry.
