Aeronautical Engineering is one of the four departments working under the Dean of the Faculty of Turkish Air Force Academy. The main target of the department is to educate aeronautical engineer officers who are equipped with information on aeronautical science technologies and open to progress and who can, reach, interpret and question information and who possess scientific thinking and ethics.
Covering this scope, Aeronautical Engineering Department is working on its own part of the mission to train the future pilots by means of its continuously improving and developing academic staff, up-to-date laboratories, supportive course documents and its curriculum equivalent to similar departments in other universities and considering the needs of the Air Force Command.
The engineering education basically covers the following subjects:
· Aerodynamics
· Propulsion Systems
· Structural Analysis
· Flight Mechanics and Control
· Design and Improvement
Aeronautical Engineering has been offering the four year undergraduate education since 1974. Since then, continuous improvement and development are in progress. The curriculum is in harmony with the advancing technology and science world.
Between 1974 and 1997, the name of the department was Aircraft Engineering. In 1992, the curriculum was updated in order to ensure equivalence with the universities offering the same degree of engineering and the department was named as Aeronautics Engineering in 1997. As a result, the department has conformity to the State University Level Education Department’s standards and has an identical curriculum with the universities offering the same degree. Since 2000, cadets have been graduating with an aeronautical engineer degree.
Finally, the curriculum was updated in 2003. In addition to that, course contents and applications are examined in detail at the end of every academic year and appropriate revisions are put into practice after thorough assessments.
