The first part of the course, which introduces students to the basic techniques of joining both metallic and non-metallic materials. These techniques are mainly riveting, welding, soldering and gluing. It also introduces the basic metals and non-metals, including composites, which are part of modern aircraft. Last but not least, techniques for fitting springs, gears, gear cables, pipes and hoses to aircraft are presented.
Practical knowledge of the construction and technology of aircraft production, within which excursions to production and maintenance organizations will be carried out. The individual parts will focus on the production technologies of aircraft, aircraft components, engines and propellers from traditional (metal) and modern (composite) materials.
