This course provides a foundational introduction to aerospace engineering fundamentals, combining theoretical lectures with practical lab demonstrations. It is designed for students who are beginning their journey in aerospace and want to understand both the concepts and real-world applications of aircraft and propulsion systems.

The course begins with an overview of aerospace engineering fundamentals and introduces the instructor and course structure. It then moves into core lecture material explaining key principles of aerospace systems and engineering analysis.

A significant focus is placed on propulsion systems, including turbojet engines and compressor behavior. Learners are shown how air is compressed, combusted, and expanded to generate thrust, which is essential for modern aircraft performance.

The course also includes a rocket example, helping students understand basic rocket propulsion concepts and how thrust is produced in space applications.

In addition, lab videos demonstrate real experimental setups such as compressor data acquisition and turbojet testing. These practical sessions help bridge the gap between theory and engineering practice.

By the end of this course, learners will have a strong introductory understanding of aerospace propulsion systems, experimental methods, and fundamental engineering principles used in aircraft and rocket design.
