Preface
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the MSc programme at the Faculty
of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology.
I would like to wish all our students taking the Masters degree a successful
and inspiring year: the BSc graduates entering our Masters programme; the
international students who will be taking a full two-year Masters programme;
the HTO students embarking on their pre-Masters programme; and the
exchange students here as our guests for a shorter period.
I am convinced that we offer you an inspiring and challenging programme, one
that offers you every opportunity to fulfil your individual ambitions, and which
is definitely worth the hard work and discipline that is involved. Our alumni
are proud to have belonged to the student body of this faculty. Equipped with
extensive aerospace engineering knowledge and skills, our graduates are highly
sought after both inside and outside the aerospace industry.
This handbook serves as a reference guide. In-depth information about learning
objectives, detailed course information, and regulations is available on-line and
in the sources referenced herein.
I wish you a very inspiring year
Ir. A. Kamp

TU Delft University Facts and Mission

Founded in 1842, Delft University of Technology is the oldest, largest, and most
comprehensive university of technology in the Netherlands. With over 13.000
students and 2100 scientists (including 200 professors), it is an establishment
of both national importance and significant international standing. Renowned
for its high standard of education and research, the University collaborates
with other educational establishments and research institutes, both in the
Netherlands and overseas. It also enjoys partnerships with governments, branch
organisations, numerous consultancies, the industry, and companies from the
small and medium business sectors. Delft University of Technology has eight
faculties offering a host of engineering programmes, many of them unique in
the Netherlands.
Working together with other educational establishments, various research
institutes, international business partners and the industry, TU Delft aims
to provide students with all the necessary tools for a successful career: an
excellent education, relevant, practical experience, and the broadest possible
knowledge base. Detailed information can be obtained from the website www.
tudelft.nl
INTERNATIONAL OFFICE
Going abroad to study is a big step. Living alone, away from your family, a
different country, with a different way of learning can be quite tough sometimes.
The International office will be your first point of contact at the University.
The International Office staff handles the application procedure, financial and
housing matters, and the distribution of student ID cards. The International
Office comprises the central TU Delft Student Registration Office, which registers
you as a student when you are admitted to TU Delft.
Should you have any problems or questions the International Office can provide
all the help you need. Several departments can advise you on a wide range of
issues such as accommodation, university enrollment, insurances, residence
permits and legal questions. If you have personal problems you can make
an appointment with one of the student psychologists. For students who are
disabled the International Office is the place to get in touch with a specialised
counsellor.

Course and Examination Regulations
The education body presumes that each student will familiarise himself or herself with
the Course and Examination Regulations, the accompanying Rules and Directives, and
the Implementation Regulations as laid down by the Board of Examiners.
In the Course and Examination Regulations and the accompanying Rules and
Directives, one can find, for instance:
pass or fail regulations
test or examination appeal rules
These can be found on www.lr.tudelft.nl (campus portal) and on Blackboard
(Community: Aerospace Engineering Students).
The Study Guide - including the digital course descriptions - can be considered as the
Implementation Regulations, since it contains details of the MSc programme, together
with prerequisites and transitional regulations in the event of programme changes.
Internationalisation
Studying abroad is encouraged in the MSc programme. Several exchange
opportunities are offered. The faculty is a member of the PEGASUS network
(23 European aerospace universities, all of which have agreed upon mutual
student exchange). In addition, the Aerospace Engineering Faculty has signed
bilateral agreements for student exchange with Queens University of Belfast,
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Australia, and Nanyang
University of Technology, Singapore. Moreover, the general TU Delft exchange
network can offer extra opportunities such as, for example, the LEUVEN-network
and ETH-Zrich. If approved beforehand, courses completed as an exchange
student can replace courses in your Masters programme. Otherwise, a student

exchange abroad of at least 18 EC (course code ae5-060) is regarded as being

equivalent to an internship in industry. More information:

Internships
The Internship Office helps students who are following degree programmes
to arrange internships. The internship or its alternative, the exchange period,
is a mandatory part of the Aerospace Engineering MSc programme. You are
responsible for arranging your own internship. It is therefore important to
remember to start the orientation process for your internship early. This means
that, if you must do your internship in your second year, you should already
be exploring possibilities throughout your first year. Arranging an internship
can be a time-consuming process. The Internship Officer is available to answer
questions and give advice.
Once you have arranged your internship, you must report it to the Internship
Office before you begin, in order to ensure that it will be acknowledged later.

Study Advice
The academic counsellor of the faculty is the person to contact regarding
questions or problems relating to the study programme or studying at a
university in general. The academic counsellor acts as an ombudsman or trusted
representative. Furthermore, he/she attends committees as a consultant and
has contact with staff members, colleague counsellors, and staff outside the
university who are concerned with student advising and counselling. Personal
issues may be dealt with during an appointment with the academic counsellor.
18
Students can be assured that all information will be treated strictly confidential
and will be discussed with third parties only upon their consent.
Students are advised to contact the counsellor as soon as problems arise.
Waiting too long often results in the loss of valuable study time and escalation
of the problem.
For short questions you are welcome at the office open hours: Monday-Thursday
12.30-13.30 or you can phone on Monday-Thursday between 14.00-14.30.
Otherwise you can make an appointment with one of the academic counsellors
at the Service Desk.

Faculty funds
The Prof. H.J. van der Maas Fund is intended to stimulate the professional
education of AE students and new graduates. Students in need of financial
support for an individual study, tour, or internship can submit a request to the
vice president of the fund: Prof. J. Hoekstra, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering,
Kluyverweg 1, 2629 HS Delft.
This request must contain a short description of the purpose of the trip, and
budget estimates detailing ones own financial contribution and support received

The request must be supplemented by advice from the research supervisor
(if available), and a recent overview of obtained results showing academic
progress. It is stressed that, in general, the Prof. H.J. van der Maas Fund will
only finance part of the total costs, in this way being able to offer support to as
many students as possible with the means available to it. A contribution from
this foundation is awarded only once to an individual student in cases where it is
clear that the estimated cost of travel and accommodation will exceed a normal
student budget.

MSc Procedures
Who is eligible for admission to the MSc in Aerospace Engineering?
Students who have a BSc degree in Aerospace Engineering (TU Delft) are
directly admitted to the MSc programme. Students who are close to completing
the BSc programme1 may register for a track and start the MSc programme.
Their official status is pre-master, i.e. they are allowed to start their MSc
programme even though they have not yet completed the BSc degree.
From September 2010 students who started their BSc in 2006 or after will only
be admitted to the MSc programme once their BSc programme is completed.
The following types of student may also enrol in the MSc programme:
Students who completed the HTO pre-master programme in Aerospace
Engineering at TU Delft (the so-called schakelprogramma).
Students who hold a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine
Technology, Civil Engineering, Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering from a
Dutch technical University.
International students who hold a BSc degree in Aerospace Engineering or an
equivalent of sufficient quality. All applications are handled by the TU Delft
Admissions Office and are assessed individually.
Choosing an MSc track
Students are advised to gather information for themselves about the different
tracks, based on the information provided in this study guide. Students are also
strongly encouraged to attend one or more of the information sessions that are
scheduled for November 2007 (general MSc information), and March 2008 (track
presentations).
Having selected a suitable track, students need to register for it. The main MSc
registration procedures are described below. These procedures should be carried
out carefully, making sure that all the requirements are met. Failure to do so
may cause serious delay in the last phase of the MSc programme. The detailed
graduation regulations can be found in the Course and Examination Regulations.
Minimum requirements: the rst two years of the BSc programme must have been completed, and
at least 23 ECTS of the third year must have been obtained (not including the Design Synthesis Exercise)

Registering for an MSc track and outlining the MSc programme

MSc track registration forms are available from the Service Desk and from
Blackboard. Forms must be signed by the student and the MSc track coordinator,
and then handed in at the Service Desk. If all requirements are met, the student
is formally registered at the chair and his/her MSc programme is recorded.
Note: no registration rights can be derived from the completion of courses
specific to a track without prior registration (thus without permission).
Starting the graduation project
Students are advised to gather information for themselves about their proposed
graduation project in the second half of the first year. To begin work at the chosen
chair, the BSc programme must have been completed in its entirety, and approved
by the Board of Examiners. The student must be able to show the Boards letter
of approval to the chair-holder. If the BSc programme has not been completed,
but thesis work has been started, the student cannot count on receiving any help
(e.g. extra exams or short-cutting procedures) from the Board of Examiners if
problems arise. Deviation from the second requirement (MSc first year completed)
is possible, but only if approved by the chair-holder or supervisor.
From September 2007, the start of the graduation project can be registered.
Forms will be available from Blackboard and the campus website.
Applying for the MSc examination
When you are close to completing your thesis, you must submit an application
to sit the MSc exam. The relevant form is available from the Service Desk.
Application is possible as soon as all the MSc subjects, except for the thesis,
have been completed. The application deadline is four weeks before the
assumed graduation date. If evaluation of the MSc results is carried out
successfully, registration forms for the MSc examination and presentation are
sent to the student. A presentation date can only be set when the student
has received the registration forms from the SSC, since this proves that all the
requirements have been met. In the course of 2007, the composition of the
graduation committee must also be completed on the application form and then
approved by the Board of Examiners. Do not forget to book a lecture room for
your presentation!
26
Note: if the BSc programme is not yet approved by the Board of

Examiners, this has to be done first. The BSc and MSc applications will
not be handled at the same time.
The Master of Science presentation and examination
The candidate will give a presentation about his/her thesis on the planned graduation
date. This presentation is public (it is common to invite family and friends) and takes
about an hour. After the presentation, the graduation committee will assess the
candidate. This is a closed session. The committee establishes the final grade, taking
into accounts the following elements: content, presentation, defence.
De-register
After graduating, you need to de-register personally from Aerospace Engineering
at the Central Student Administration (CSA). In order to do so you need to fill
in a form, which you can obtain at the CSA or have sent to you by mail. Make
sure to hand in your form together with your Bewijs van Inschrijving (proof of
enrolment) at the CSA.

General procedures
TAS
The entire university uses a central registration system, TAS, for courses and
examinations. The purpose of this system is to determine how many students
will attend a particular course or examination. This allows instructors to
anticipate the number of students in order to arrange for their classes (e.g., size
of lecture or examination rooms, number of exams that need to be printed).
Students must use TAS to register for all examinations.
You can access TAS through the following website: http://www.tas.tudelft.nl. This
site requires your NetID and password. It is your own responsibility to register
for examinations in time!
Registration opening:
the first week of the semester
Registration closing:
2 weeks before the examination date
Last withdrawal date:
1 week before the examination date
Interim examination schedule

A summary of the interim examination schedule is published on the website: www.
lr.tudelft.nl > LR campus portal. If a written sitting is not included in this schedule,
students may consult the interim examination schedule of the Central Student
Administration Office. Alterations to the interim examination schedule are always
posted on the notice boards and on Blackboard. The definitive locations of the
interim-examinations will be published in TAS. It is strongly advised to check the
exam location one day before the examination takes place.
Deviations from the Course and Examination Regulations
The Board of Examiners has the authority to deviate from the Course and
Examination Regulations. A student must submit a well-founded, written
request to the secretary of the Board of Examiners at least 2 weeks prior to the
assembly of the Board of Examiners. The student will receive written notification
within one month of the committees decision.
Exemption from an interim examination
The Board of Examiners can grant exemption for a subject if the student has
28
completed this subject at another Dutch university, a Dutch higher educational

institution, or a foreign university with a level of education equivalent to that
of Delft University of Technology and if the contents and study load of this
examination unit are deemed equivalent by the Board of Examiners.
Examination requests, and requests to deviate from the Course and Examination
Regulations, must be directed to the Secretary to the Board of Examiners.
The Board of Examiners meets six times a year to determine the results of
the examinations and to decide on any requests submitted. All procedures are
explained in the Course and Examination Regulations.

Other information
Honours Track
Students who complete their bachelors programme with an average mark of 7,5
or better are eligible for following an honours track in their masters programme.
An honours track is a special programme, in addition to the regular master
programme, and relates to your discipline and/or to the role of technology
in society. It offers more depth, for example preparation to the doctoral
programme (PhD) or a wider orientation. A special TU Delft-wide course of
160 hours of study is developed. This course is interdisciplinary and focuses on
academic competences such as communication skills, philosophy of science,
methodology and ethics. It is compulsory for honours track students.
An honours track is in total about 800 hours of additional study, to be followed
within the masters programme. Special facilities shall be made available.
Students who have successfully completed their honours track receive a special
certificate.
Interested students should contact the MSc Programme Director when they
come close to finish their bachelor.
Graduation in Sustainable Development
Students who successfully complete this specialisation receive a special
Sustainable Development (SD) annotation to their regular degree certificate.
SD is a growing concern in many research projects and is becoming a more
essential element of political and organisational decision-making. Nowadays
technology plays an important role in the approaches to sustainability related
problems. For this reason the TU Delft offers students the possibility to
specialise in SD.
To receive the annotation three study components need to be completed:
1. Colloquium Technology in Sustainable Development (wm0922TU, 4 ECTS);
2. Elective courses package of at least 11 ECTS of SD related courses. See for a
complete list www.ODO.TUDelft.nl;
30
3. Graduation project. Specific to their own disciplines, students are asked to

incorporate sustainability issues in their graduation project. Within faculties
so-called SD referents with specific expertise will assess the project, at
the start and at the end, on the way SD has been tackled in the problem
definition, the actual work and the conclusion of the project.

Adapted programmes are available within several profiles (marked ) for
students with an interest in ASSET (Aerospace for Sustainable Engineering
and Technology) or Wind Energy (WE).
A literature study is also part of the first year. The subject of the literature
study is typically discussed with the track coordinator who, in turn, may refer
you to another staff member. The literature study may be preparatory for
the MSc thesis, but can also be an independent project. The literature study
varies between 12 and 18 ECTS. 6 ECTS may be used for electives, or to
eliminate deficiencies by taking BSc courses for example.

33
For students holding a BSc degree other than in Aerospace Engineering,

the literature study is replaced by Capita Selecta. These are 9 ECTS units
in various disciplines, meant to bring students up to standard. The Capita
Selecta courses are mainly self-study and practicals, which can be supported
by attending BSc lectures. The coordinator and student determine which
two Capita Selecta are part of the programme. In specific cases, it is
possible to choose only one Capita Selecta unit instead of two. To obtain a
comprehensive overview of the field, however, it is strongly advised to take
two Capita Selecta courses.
Year 2
The internship is ideally carried out in the first months of the second year.
However, other scheduling options are possible as well.
An exchange period means studying abroad, usually in one of the exchange
programmes. If at least 18 credits are obtained, the exchange period can be
alternative to the industrial internship.
During the second half first year, students are advised to discuss options
for their graduation projects. This can be done directly with professors, or
at first with the track coordinator. The graduation project is the piece de
resistance of the MSc. It is an independent research project, carried out
under supervision of an academic staff member, often related to the research
program of a discipline group. It is concluded with a public presentation and
an oral exam.

Short Description of the MSc Track
The Aerodynamics track is of interest to those who desire experience with the application
of aerodynamics in design, a more detailed understanding of low and high-speed
flows, or a firm grasp on the latest experimental and numerical modelling techniques.
STUDY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8
35
By selecting a profile, the student chooses an educational programme which contains

a particular balance of these elements. The graduate will be able to operate in both
scientific and industrial environments where fluid mechanics plays an important role.
Didactic Approach of the MSc Track
The student builds experience through courses, a directed internship and a
supervised final research project.
Learning Objectives of the MSc Track
The objective of this track is to provide students with the opportunity to become
a specialist with a specific knowledge of the characteristics of aerodynamic
flows, and the methods used for their application in design.
Structure of the MSc Track
The track consists of three profile programs that share a common core
programme of 21 ECTS. Each profile programme offers a core of mandatory
courses supplemented by electives that can be adjusted to the subject of the
expected final thesis work. The MSc thesis consists of a large, independent
assignment, which is mostly performed as part of ongoing research under the
supervision of a scientific staff member. In some cases, thesis work can be
carried out on the site of an industrial partner.
Capita Selecta Programme
The MSc track structure offers a Capita Selecta programme of 18 ECTS, designed
to provide additional knowledge for students with non-aerospace backgrounds.
Sustainable Engineering (ASSET) or Wind Energy (WE)
Students who would like to specialize in Sustainable Engineering (ASSET) or
Wind Energy (WE) are offered adapted programmes in the framework of profile
I (Aerodynamic Design). Both options require an additional core programme of
8-9 ECTS supplemented by specialized elective courses.
Profiles offered
I.
Aerodynamic Design
II. Fluid Dynamics

III. Fluid Structure Interaction
36
Profile I
Short Description: this profile focuses on the multi-disciplinary aspects of
aerodynamic design. Its elective courses can be roughly divided into three
groups. The first group includes courses in advanced mathematics which are
relevant to modelling complex systems. The second group considers the physics
of fluid dynamics in more detail. The last group provides a more extensive
background in issues involved in realistic designs. Within Profile 1, you may
choose the Aviation Stream (IA) or the Space Stream (IS), which have different
elective and non-elective courses. You may optionally choose to follow one of
two focuses: Aerospace for Sustainable Engineering and Technology or Wind
Energy. The latter has specific non-elective courses, but allow elective choices
from the entire IA course list.
Learning Objectives:
1. A broad knowledge of fluid dynamics, and its application in aircraft or
spacecraft design
2. Knowledge of modern methods for flow analysis and design optimization
(numerical/experimental)
Profile II
Short Description: this profile focuses on the physical and analytical aspects of
aerodynamic flows. It is thus well suited for those who intend to pursue research
on the numerical computation of flows, the analysis of flow physics, and the
development of flow measurement techniques. Its non-elective courses emphasize
the physical modelling aspects of aerodynamics, while its elective courses allow
either further specialization in physical modelling or in the mathematical or
numerical tools necessary for their detailed description. As for profile 1, you
must choose between the Aviation Stream (IA) or the Space Stream (IS), which
have slightly different elective and non-elective courses. The Aviation Stream
emphasizes viscous flows while the Space stream emphasizes hypersonic flows,
and also includes an optional course on optimization techniques.
1. An in-depth knowledge of fluid-dynamic phenomena
2. A detailed knowledge of numerical or experimental flow analysis techniques
STUDY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8
37
Profile III
Short Description: this profile focuses on the analysis of physical phenomena
in which there is strong coupling between fluid and structural motion. Such
problems are difficult to handle experimentally, but the development of
numerical techniques for their simulation is currently a very active area of
fundamental research. The elective and non-elective courses of this profile
thus concentrate on understanding the physical models and numerical methods
which support the analysis of multi-physics systems.
1. A broad knowledge of the physics of fluids, structures and their interactions
2. Knowledge and experience in the design of numerical analysis techniques
Additional information
In the Aerodynamics track, the literature study is an integral part of the final
project, and is carried out under the guidance of the project supervisor. It is
therefore preferred that the internship be carried out in the first year and the
literature study in the second year, so that the remainder of the final project can
be started immediately after the literature study.
Additional information can be found on the Aerodynamics track Blackboard
page.

This Design, Integration and Operations of Aircraft and Rotorcraft track focuses
on the design of complex systems, especially aircraft and rotorcraft in all
their aspects. Our mission is to train students to become multi-disciplinary
engineers who will practice and improve Multi-disciplinary Design, Analysis
and Optimisation in industry as well as in research institutions. The track uses
vehicles as its main study object, including wind turbines and sustainable energy
concepts. Such an object is seen as a complex system that is often part of an
even more complicated transport system. Therefore, it can only be successfully
designed and optimised when the capabilities and advances of the separate
disciplines (i.e. aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, stability and control, flight
operations etc.) are collected, balanced and integrated.
The educational programme should train students in understanding and
practical application of the core elements of the design process. Conceptual
and Preliminary Aircraft, Rotorcraft, Wind turbine Design and Sustainable
Energy Concepts are taken as the sample cases to familiarize students with the
contents and underlying processes in the design of complex systems. Around
this core several supporting processes such as Optimization and Knowledge
Based Engineering are of importance. This training is done by a mix of core
and elective courses, an internship and final thesis work. The latter is in close
collaboration with the on-going research projects within the faculty as well as
with research institutions and industry.

The track aims at delivering engineers who:
1. understand the product development process applied within and outside aerospace
2. understand the position of the design process within the product
development process
3. understand the basics of design methodologies and have the ability to apply these
4. understand the importance of working in multi-disciplinary teams and are
willing to and capable of working in such teams
5. have the ability to coordinate multi-disciplinary design work
6. have an appreciation of and respect for a broad range of disciplines and the
contribution of these disciplines to the product development process
7. understand how research and science can contribute to an improvement of
the product development process and the resulting products
8. are trained in the fundamentals of several disciplines
9. have the ability and willingness to design in a scientific and/or applied manner
The design-oriented track programme consists of five profile programmes, as
well as a tailored programme. Each track offers a core of mandatory courses
of 26 ECTS, except profile II*, which offers 27 ECTS. They are supplemented
by electives that can be adjusted to the subject of the final thesis work. The
tailored programme is meant for those students with a multi-disciplinary interest
beyond the contents of the five pre-programmed profiles.
The MSc track structure offers two Capita Selecta modules of in total 18 ECTS.
These modules aim at opening the programme to a broader range of students,
who are basically qualified for the programme but may lack to some limited
extent knowledge required to finish the course within 2 years.
Students who would like to specialize in Sustainable Engineering (ASSET) are offered
an adapted programme in the frame of profile I with some additional core courses.
The focus Wind Energy (WE) has its own profile II*, which is an adaptation of profile II.

The Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Vehicles (DCAV) track is headed by a
dynamic, ambitious group that focuses on the analysis, synthesis and experimental
evaluation of aerospace flight control systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, flight
simulators, human-machine systems, and novel air traffic management concepts.
DCAV, grounded on aerospace systems and control theory, closes the loop of
the modern design cycle of aerospace vehicles ranging from fixed and rotary wing
aircraft, to rockets and spacecraft. Theory and practice are combined in exciting and
challenging fields of study for students. The combination of theoretical knowledge
and practical skills is unique, and DCAVs graduates easily find their way in finding a
good job in engineering, research, consulting, and management.
Our motto is to close the loop of theory and practice. Within the first year
of the MSc, theoretical concepts ranging from aerospace systems and control,
human-machine interaction, and software engineering are provided through
combining plenary lectures with individual exercises and practical assignments.
In the second year of the MSc, graduate students will join us to work on
challenging research subjects, often in collaboration with research labs and
industry, to apply their skills in real-world problems and to further extend
scientific knowledge. DCAV has a unique set of experimental facilities available
for graduate students to get prepared for a successful career as a versatile
engineer. Examples are the Cessna Citation II laboratory aircraft, the SIMONA
research simulator and the Delfly micro-UAV.

The objective of this track is to educate students to become world-class
engineers in the field of systems- and control theory, one of the drivers of
modern technology, within challenging application fields such as unmanned
aerial vehicles, design of human-machine systems, and future air traffic
management. The focus in DCAV lies on first establishing a sound theoretical
framework and then to share our expertise in applying this knowledge in
practical problems.
The track consists of four profile programmes that share a common core
programme of 18 ECTS. Each profile programme consists of a profile core
of mandatory courses (ranging between 7 and 10 ECTS), supplemented by
electives (14 to 17 ECTS) that can be adjusted to either the subject of the
final thesis work, or to the students own flavour. The MSc thesis project is an
individual research assignment, often conducted in house or at an appropriate
external organization partner.
The MSc track structure offers two Capita Selecta modules of in total 18 ECTS.
These modules aim at opening the programme for a broader range of students,
who are basically qualified for the programme but may lack to some limited
extent knowledge required to finish the course within 2 years. Conducting
the Capita Selecta Flight Mechanics and Flight Dynamics is mandatory,
the other one is free to choose, although we recommend the Capita Selecta
Aerodynamics.

Profile I
Short Description: this profile has two streams:
1. design and evaluation of advanced guidance and automatic flight control
systems for aircraft, rotorcraft and unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs
2. integrated flight test instrumentation/navigation system design and aircraft/
rotorcraft model identification using flight test data
Students will have opportunities to tackle challenging problems in the field of aerospace
vehicle Guidance, Navigation and Control. Advanced control theory (nonlinear control,
adaptive control, robust control, intelligent control), global optimisation approaches
(interval analysis, genetic algorithms, nonlinear programming), state and parameter
estimation techniques (nonlinear and adaptive filtering, total least squares, wavelets
analysis), modelling techniques (physical modelling, neural modelling, fuzzy modelling)
will be learnt within this profile depending on final thesis project assignments.
Applications focus on fault tolerant and re-configurable flight control design,
flight envelop clearance and protection, optimal terminal area energy
management, off-line and on-line vehicle model identification using flight data,
advanced flight test instrumentation system, GPS/Inertial/Airdata integrated
navigation system, dynamic attitude and heading reference system (DAHRS).
All successful developments in theory will have to be flight-tested eventually
using real aircraft upon requirements. The goal of these researches is aiming for
enhancing safety, survivability and performance for future aerospace vehicles.

rotorcraft flight dynamics
2. Knowledge on modern methods for analysis of control problems and
synthesis of control systems
3. Knowledge on modern methods for flight testing, filtering and aerodynamic
model identification
4. Skills in the use of modern control and simulation programs, such as Matlab/Simulink
5. Insight in related course disciplines such as artificial intelligence, sensor
fusion, and simulation
6. Knowledge on conventional and advanced optimization techniques and their
applications
STUDY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8
49
Profile II
Short Description: this profile has the similar structure to profile I. However,
this profile focuses on advance guidance, navigation and control techniques
with their applications to space vehicles, reusable launch vehicles, and re-entry
vehicles rather than aircraft, rotorcraft and UAVs. Advanced control theory
(nonlinear control, adaptive control, robust control, intelligent control), global
optimisation approaches (interval analysis, genetic algorithms, nonlinear
programming), state and parameter estimation techniques (nonlinear and
adaptive filtering, total least squares, wavelets analysis), modelling techniques
(physical modelling, neural modelling, fuzzy modelling) will be learnt within this
profile depending on final thesis project assignments.
The techniques learnt will be applied to rendezvous/docking vehicle GNC
system designs, formation flying spacecraft GNC system designs, modelling of
spacecraft with flexible structures and liquid sloshing, agile spacecraft attitude
control, trajectory optimisation for re-usable launchers and re-entry vehicles,
optimal terminal area energy management of re-entry vehicles, formation flying
spacecraft constellation planning, adaptive/robust spacecraft attitude control,
integrated navigation and attitude determination systems for earth satellites,
deep-space spacecraft, re-entry and re-usable launch vehicles.
1. Broad and thorough knowledge of systems and control theory.
2. Knowledge of modern methods for analysis of control problems and synthesis
of control systems.
3. Skills in the use of modern control and simulation programs, such as Matlab/
Simulink.
4. Insight in related course disciplines such as artificial intelligence, sensor
fusion, and simulation.
5. Knowledge on conventional and advanced optimization techniques and their
applications.
6. Knowledge on advanced modelling of complex space structures such as
spacecraft with flexible substructures and liquid sloshing.
50
Profile III
Short Description: this profile aims at understanding pilot perception and
control behaviour at the level of skills. Research aims at modelling the human
component in closed loop vehicular control, using modern identification
techniques and classical control. Examples are design of a haptic gas pedal
in cars, the optimal tuning of flight simulator visual and motion cues, aircraft
handling qualities and advanced fly-by-wire systems, the use of haptics in
creating force-feedback systems, and the tele-operation of unmanned aerial
vehicles.
This profile is linked to Profile I in the sense that there is a strong focus
on systems and control theory, but differs in the sense that the application
focuses on modelling humans rather than machines, and the control synthesis
specifically aims at integrating the dynamic properties of humans. Graduate
students in Profile III often conduct experiments with experienced pilots in
the SIMONA flight simulator, and sometimes even in real flight. Profile III is
recommended for students who like the mix of systems and control theory,
experimenting and statistics, real-time software engineering and flight
simulation.
rotorcraft flight dynamics.
2. Knowledge of modern methods for analysis of control problems and synthesis
of control systems.
3. Knowledge of human perception and control behaviour, including modern
methods for identification

Matlab/Simulink
5. Skills in the programming, setup and execution of experiments in flight
simulators or in flight tests
6. Insight in related topics such as statistics, software engineering, and realtime simulation
STUDY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8
51
Profile IV
Short Description: this profile aims at understanding operator (pilot/atc)
behaviour at the level of rules and knowledge, and aims at the development
of advanced flight deck avionics systems to support pilot decision making and
situation awareness. Research aims at the use of techniques from cognitive
systems engineering, such as ecological interface design, to create a work
environment, possibly including automated systems, that helps pilots in
conducting their tasks effectively and efficiently. Examples are the design
of airborne separation assurance interfaces, support systems for advanced
noise abatement procedures, three-dimensional synthetic vision displays and
advanced, human-centred flight deck alerting and warning systems.
Profile IV is the least mathematical within DCAV, and challenges students in
being creative in designing novel interfaces for humans working in complex
environments, through using a sound theoretical paradigm. Graduate students
in this profile often test their new avionics systems with real pilots, using
the SIMONA flight simulator and the human-machine systems lab fixed-base
simulator. Profile IV is recommended for students who want to work on the
more operational side of human-machine systems, develop new interfaces,
conduct experiments, use statistics, and are not afraid to test their designs
and theory in practice, by programming and performing man-in-the-loop
experiments or evaluations.
rotorcraft flight dynamics.
2. Knowledge of air traffic management, optimization and guidance and control
problems.
3. Knowledge of human perception and control behaviour, focusing on higher
levels of human cognition
4. Knowledge of cognitive systems engineering and ecological interface design.
5. Skills in the programming, setup and execution of experiments in flight
simulators or in flight tests
6. Insight in related topics such as statistics, software engineering, and realtime simulation
52
Students need basic knowledge of systems and control theory, for example by having
followed the course ae3-359 in their BSc. If that is not the case, this knowledge can
be acquired in the DCAV MSc programme as part of the Capita Selecta.

For students who are focused on the management and operations aspects of
aerospace technology, AMO is a suitable MSc track. Within the AMO track, you
learn about managing and operating aerospace engineering driven processes,
from building aircraft up to exploitation of aircraft. Students will shape their own
future and thus be involved in learning processes, the projects, the lectures,
entrepreneurial management, programme/project management, etc. All learning
principles will be dealt with at the beginning of the first year of this MSc
programme.
Within the AMO MSc track, Learner led learning is the motto. We use
project platforms to synthesize know-how and experience in new areas of
application. Cases developed within the industry will be used in our educational
programmes. We will listen to the most recent management concepts and
strategies used in enterprises. Learning is something else than teaching:
learning is about how students want to acquire knowledge and what they can
and will do with it! In the learning mode, we also introduced the research
orientation, meaning that students have to use research methods and principles
in the solving of problems and writing of papers.
STUDY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8

The educational objectives of this track are:
1. Knowledge and ability to apply principles of management and operations in
the aerospace field
2. Knowledge and ability to analyze, improve and develop new business
processes in aerospace engineering
3. Knowledge and ability to manage business processes and projects in
aerospace engineering
4. knowledge and ability to translate innovations into new business
The areas of competence (knowledge and skills) that an AMO student will
obtain are: domain of aerospace sciences, doing research, designing, scientific
approach, basic intellectual skills, cooperating and communicating, and taking
into account the temporal and societal context.
The track consists of three profile programs that share a common core
programme of 30 ECTS, as well as a student specific specialisation of 24 ECTS.
They are supplemented by electives (6 ECTS) that can be adjusted to the
subject of the final thesis work. Every student in the AMO programme signs a
learning agreement with the coordinator of the profile chosen including final
thesis.
The MSc track structure includes Capita Selecta modules aimed at opening the
programme to a broader range of students, who are basically qualified for the
programme but may lack domain specific knowledge required to finish the MSc
programme within 2 years.
Students who would like to specialize in Sustainable Engineering (ASSET) or
Wind Energy (WE) are offered an adapted programme in the frame of profile I.
This option uses the core programme of profile I of 26 ECTS supplemented by
additional core courses.

This track focuses on a broad range of disciplines related to spaceflight. In many respects
spaceflight is uniquely different from aeronautics, both in terms of implementation
(rockets and satellites) as well as in applications. The programme addresses a wide
spectrum of topics, ranging from satellite trajectories, mission analysis(nano-)satellite
design and development, space environment and instrumentation to applications for
Earth observation and planetary exploration. The programme is closely related to track
7 (Earth and Planetary Observation) on the one hand. On the other hand it provides
links to other MSc tracks in the field of space hardware design. It is embedded in the
research field of the Department of Earth Observation and Space Systems (DEOS) of
the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft.
The didactic approach is straightforward, based on knowledge transfer through
dedicated lecture series, exercises, literature study or preparatory MSc assignment,
STUDY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8
69
internship and individual MSc thesis projects. If possible, the literature study, internship
and MSc project are concatenated into a continuous ongoing assignment. Preferably,
the MSc thesis project is associated with ongoing research activities and/or projects.
The learning objectives are to provide interested students with broad
knowledge in the field of space flight and applications and to prepare them for
a professional career in the academic and/or applied space business. However,
the programme is not intended to train specialists, but rather to develop generic
(aerospace) engineering skills, using space missions as a focus of attention.
The track programme consists of a core module of 17 ECTS containing 4 general
courses on space technology and satellite orbits (and 1 compulsory course on ethics of
aerospace engineering), and a choice between 2 profiles of 25 ECTS. The profiles have
a mandatory part and electives. Profile I focuses on Space Systems Engineering and is
more targeted towards space hardware and software design and development. Profile II
mainly concerns space mission analysis, trajectory design and applications. At present,
there is a strong focus on potential future (inter)planetary missions and Delfi-C3.
Track 6 offers a Capita Selecta programme for (external) students who did not
follow the AE BSc programme. It consists of a small individual satellite mission
design project based on BSc course material (Space Systems Engineering &
Technology I, II and III). The programme is credited with 9 ECTS.
