Description including Unit Aims

This Unit is a group design project focusing on a rotary-wing aerospace vehicle with input from AgustaWestland Helicopters. This is an optional alternative to the fixed-wing aerospace vehicle design project supported by Airbus UK. Whilst this unit is optional within a mandatory set of units, it will be limited to just one group of students (nominally 12). The Unit Director reserves the right to select students should the unit be oversubscribed and to withdraw the unit should it be under subscribed.
