La necesidad de conocer los vehículos aeroespaciales y sus sistemas de vuelo exige el conocimiento adecuado y aplicado a la Ingeniería de los diferentes métodos de cálculo y diseño en el campo aeroespacial; el uso de la experimentación aerodinámica y de los parámetros más significativos en la aplicación teórica; el acercamiento a las técnicas experimentales, equipamiento e instrumentos de medida propios de la disciplina; la simulación, diseño, análisis e interpretación de experimentación y operaciones en vuelo; los sistemas de mantenimiento y certificación de aeronaves.
Estas necesidades se acometen de diversas formas en el sector aeroespacial dependiendo de si es un vehículo espacial, una aeronave de ala fija y una aeronave de ala rotatoria. Es esta última la que centra el objetivo de esta asignatura introductoria hacia conocimientos de mayor envergadura en curso de master o especialización.
