For Aerospace students
They are: SP, NP, TP, NTU -

What they can do with that?Originally posted by Delta 5:Later those schools not happy with each other can bomb each other with their mini 'air forces' -
yup
my sch oredy prepared a place for the plane liao -
Practice dropping LGBs, cluster bombs and gun runs on each other...Originally posted by sbst275:What they can do with that?
Hands on learning -

think they starting new courses...something like aeronautical engineering..so they need some examples to show their students how aerofoils and stuff work..
maybe,i'm jus guessing -
SP's aero engine has been around for a few yaers.(4th year now i think) While NTU started this year.Originally posted by beavan:think they starting new courses...something like aeronautical engineering..so they need some examples to show their students how aerofoils and stuff work..

The engines are stored in the labs to play around with. Same with the electronics. The plane sitting there is more or less just a shell. Nothing inside -
I think the planes are just there to inspire students. I doubt they would use it for hands-on maintenance practice.

maybe 1 day when i'm free, i will go back to campus to take a look.

More likely to get ppl to sign onOriginally posted by huaichien:I think the planes are just there to inspire students. I doubt they would use it for hands-on maintenance practice. -
If govt is serious abt building expertise in this field, they shld learn from UK Uni's Aeronautical Engineering:Originally posted by |-|05|:SP's aero engine has been around for a few yaers.(4th year now i think) While NTU started this year.

The Department has the Experimental Aircraft Programme (EAP) aircraft. This aircraft was a technology demonstrator for the Eurofighter Typhoon. All first year students carry out design appreciation exercises on the EAP.
In the third year, students get to apply their knowledge by designing their own aircraft. Past design projects have included:
- 35 seat regional jet airliner.
- Medium range Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) military transport aircraft.
- Highly agile supersonic fighter.
The highly agile supersonic fighter was done in conjunction with the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech in the USA. -
those guys are trained to be engineers.
our guys are trained to be either technicians or senior technicians. -

Wayang?Originally posted by CenturionMBT: -
rofl. very true indeedOriginally posted by CenturionMBT: -
Good wad... wads so wayang about donating a skyhawk?
Those things come with genuine F404 engines leh. It'll be great for those Aeronautical Eng students. Speaking of which, my bro is doing that course. LOL! -
My school thermo lab has a rolls royce turboprop engine with half its section cut out which it got for a 100 bucks.

Aiyah we already know our govt f**king rich & stingy 1. Those investments that our government made are usually those that bring in lots of revenue. Damn short sighted & shallow thinking bunch of autocrats. The aerospace course is more than just the physical models only. The aerodynamics part must also not to be ignored, maybe must build wind tunnels also.Originally posted by 84mmrr:If govt is serious abt building expertise in this field, they shld learn from UK Uni's Aeronautical Engineering -
Will these A-4SU be avaliable to private jet owners after it have been stripped for military equipment such as internal gun systems and electronic warfare stuff. In the US there are such private military collectors.

i doubt so. such technology are from US so mus obtain approval from themOriginally posted by tankee1981:Will these A-4SU be avaliable to private jet owners after it have been stripped for military equipment such as internal gun systems and electronic warfare stuff. In the US there are such private military collectors.
about 2 yrs ago there were words about SP aeronautical engineering receiving skyhawk from rsaf but an approval from US was to be obtained and we waited 2 yrs for that. -
NP has aerospace engineeringOriginally posted by beavan:think they starting new courses...something like aeronautical engineering..so they need some examples to show their students how aerofoils and stuff work..

SP has aerospace engineering and aeronautical engineering.
TP has mechatronics... also got specialise in aerospace part in year 3?
NTU has aerospace engineering but on the mechanical side.
the plane is useful in a sense to gif motivation... students might get to sit in the cockpit to get the 'kick' feeling. and probly do some pre-flight, post-flight checks and inspections of the a/c.
u probly can move the control surfaces of A4 manually...
overall it's nothing much actually. -
Absolutely!Originally posted by sbst275:More likely to get ppl to sign on -
Hmmm... Wats the diff Between Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering...
-
u mean those course in SP ?
Aerospace Engg focuses on the basics of the electronics and the students study the avionics / flight computer systems that an airplane requires to fly.
wat Aeronautical Engg does to the students is that it prepares them the basic knowledge of aircraft maintenance... on the mechanical side.
so if ur on the path to become licensed aircraft maintenance engineer / senior technician... to repair/overhaul/inspect aircrafts ( e.g. the f16 in rsaf / boeing or airbus in SIAEC)... u shd take up either these 2 courses.
