Abstract

A content of the “Aircraft Design” course is under consideration. The content analysis is based on evolution and progress in aviation as well as scientific foundations of problem solving in regard to aircraft designing. A contribution made scientists and lecturers of the Aircraft Design Department at the MAI is demonstrated to develop scientific foundations of aircraft design but also to manage a personal training. Important areas and training techniques are revealed based on computer-aided design methodology to prepare qualified personnel which will able to apply modern information technologies. Tendencies are analyzed as for relationship between formalized and informal methods of design process. Possibilities of further improvements in design techniques and design management procedures are discussed.
