Master’s Degree in Helicopter and Tiltrotor Engineering
About our Master’s Degree in Helicopter and Tiltrotor Engineering
The Master’s Degree in Helicopter and Tiltrotor Engineering
is an advanced technical program focused on the design, analysis, operation, and certification of helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft (convertiplanes). Throughout the master’s program, you will study in depth helicopter engineering, rotor aerodynamics, vertical, stationary, and translational flight behavior, dynamics and vibrations, the specific structures of rotary-wing aircraft, transmission systems, engines, and flight control. In addition, you will delve into the specific engineering of tiltrotors, their airplane/rotor modes, transition, associated structural loads, and the challenges of certification and operation. The goal is for you to be able to work as an engineer on helicopter, tiltrotor, and other rotary-wing aircraft programs, both civil and military, from concept to operation.
