Expand knowledge:
Aerospace major is a major in aerospace research. The training goal of aerospace specialty is to train senior engineers and researchers who have good basic knowledge of mathematical mechanics, basic theory of aircraft engineering, overall structural design, strength analysis and test ability of aircraft, and can be engaged in structural design and research, structural strength analysis and test, and general mechanical design and manufacture of aircraft (including spacecraft and launch vehicles).
The aerospace specialty in a narrow sense includes aerospace engineering, aircraft design and engineering, aircraft manufacturing engineering, aircraft power engineering, aircraft environment and life support engineering, aircraft quality and reliability, aircraft airworthiness technology, aircraft control and information engineering, unmanned aircraft system engineering, intelligent aircraft technology, aerospace intelligent electric propulsion technology, detection guidance and control technology and other major disciplines.
However, both aircraft and spacecraft are the crystallization of comprehensive science and technology, involving navigation, remote sensing and other aspects. So in a broad sense, materials science and engineering, electronic information engineering, automation, computer, transportation, quality and reliability engineering are all indispensable disciplines of aerospace technology. With the rapid development of space industry, new specialties such as space transportation and control, remote sensing science and technology have been born in recent years.
The specialty of aircraft design and engineering belongs to engineering and aerospace. Simply put, aircraft design and engineering mainly refers to the design of aircraft, missiles and other aircraft. The "Apollo Moon Landing Program" and "shenzhou spaceship", which caused a sensation in the world, are masterpieces of this major. This broad concept includes not only the overall design of the aircraft, but also the structural design and research of the aircraft.
It is conceivable that this kind of work is certainly not as simple and interesting as the personalized drawing of some aircraft design drawings by online military fans, but a very complicated and tedious work, which needs to be optimized by integrating all practical factors under the guidance of very profound theoretical knowledge.
Aircraft design and engineering majors generally include aircraft design, flight mechanics and control, helicopter design, aerodynamics, aircraft structural strength and so on. , mainly studying the design of various spacecraft, including satellites, spaceships, space stations, launch vehicles for deep space probes, space shuttles and other spacecraft and missiles.
The purpose of this major is to cultivate senior engineers and researchers who have good basic knowledge of mathematical mechanics, basic theory of aircraft engineering, overall structural design and strength analysis and test ability of aircraft, and can be engaged in overall design, structural design and research, structural strength analysis and test of aircraft (including spacecraft and launch vehicles), as well as general mechanical design and manufacturing.
