Purpose of Department

Aeronautical Engineering department aims to train engineers in the design, production, testing, research and development, maintenance and repair of aircraft, aircraft engines, helicopters and all kinds of manned and unmanned vehicles in air and space. Aeronautical engineering requires the acquisition of engineering skills in areas such as aerodynamics, flight dynamics and control, propulsion, avionics, materials science and structural analysis. In addition, it is a strong interdisciplinary engineering field, which is in close relationship with engineering departments that provide education in the field of mechanics such as Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering and Civil Engineering as well as Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering.

Considering that the Aircraft and Space industry will continue to develop rapidly, and the breakthroughs in our defense industry will continue to grow together with civil and military aviation, it is necessary to fill the shortage of engineers who receive qualified Aeronautical Engineering education and to meet the needs of this industry. The Department of Aircraft Engineering aims to train aircraft engineers who will take an active role in the design and manufacture of new types of aircraft to be developed and produced by contributing to the technological development of the Turkish aircraft industry, where military and civil aircraft are concentrated, and will enable these engineers to create the human resources to carry out research and application studies on aircraft and general aviation. They will also be able to provide technical support for the maintenance and repair of military and civil aircraft.

Target of Department

The biggest advantage of the students of this department is that aeronautical engineering is a constantly evolving profession, as aircraft technologies incorporate the most advanced technology applications in many engineering fields.

The purpose of the Department of Aircraft Engineering is to train Aircraft Engineers who can :

• Able to follow and use the latest technologies in aviation,

• Able to apply knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering,

• Able to design and conduct experiments and analyze the results,

• Able to design a system, part of the system or a process to meet the desired requirements, in the face of real limitations such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability,

• Able to work in multi-disciplinary teams,

• Able to diagnose, formulate and solve engineering problems,

• Able to understand professional and ethical responsibilities,

• Able to communicate effectively,

• Have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context,

• Being aware of the necessity of lifelong education and being able to implement it,

• Able to follow and have knowledge of current issues related to their profession,

• Able to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools required for engineering practice
