Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the subject is to teach students orientation in the devices of sensors and control systems, to solve the partial tasks associated with the design of the measuring and control chain with a focus on aircraft technology, to design and implement assigned experimental practical tasks. After completing the subject, the student should be able to formulate the principles of operation of typical sensors and diagnostic systems of aircraft, analyse their structure, explain the nature of individual components, signal converters, communication modules and aircraft control subsystems and evaluate their development. An important part of the subject are independently processed protocols, where students use the theoretical knowledge associated with the design of the measuring and control chain of the aircraft subsystem, critically assessing the results of the solution in terms of control quality, feasibility and other specific criteria.

Summary

The subject represents a broader application basis of bachelor's degree in the field of technical and software devices of measurement systems, diagnostics, control and their application in the field of aircraft technology. The content of the subject Aircraft measuring and control systems is to teach students orientation in the methods and devices of sensor and control systems, to design and solve the partial tasks of measuring and control chains in aircraft technology, according to the specific assignment. Another goal of the subject is the analysis of the current state of instrumentation in the measuring and control systems of aircraft, an overview of the current state of aircraft information and control systems, including their hierarchical structures.
