In this article, we are glad to provide the syllabus of the code AS3701 of Anna University awarding the B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus based on regulation 2021. Let’s what we have here.
We tried our best to provide the detailed syllabus unit-wise for the subject code AS3701 – Rockets And Launch Vehicles Semester VII. We also include the required textbooks and references from the expert faculty regarding the syllabus. Along with it assists the students to become more aware of the topics. And can easily make preparation strategies as per the syllabus to make your move for examinations. Hope this information is useful. Comment below if you need anything relevant to the syllabus. We’ll try to answer your questions. Don’t forget to share with your classmates.
If you want to know more about the B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.
Aim Of Concept:
- To compute and analyse the various forces and moments acting on a rocket.
- To formulate the equations of motions for flight and separation phases.
- To understand the combustion and propulsion systems in rocket.
- To select suitable materials for the rockets and launch vehicles.
- To understand the design, performance and testing aspects.
