  3. Definition of Aerospace Engineering Definition Aerospace Engineering (Aeronautics Engg. and Astronautics Engg.) is the science concerned with the engineering of flight in air and space. Aeronautics Engineering is the engineering concerned with flight in air and Astronautics Engineering is the engineering concerned with flight in space. Its major fields include aerodynamics, gas dynamics, flight dynamics and control, flight structure, propulsion, astrodynamics, guidance and navigation, avionics and aviation science.

  5. Brief History of AE Department • The idea for AE was launched over 20 years ago, and the proposal for the Aerospace Engineering Department was initiated in 1404H. • Aeronautical Engineering option was opened in Mechanical Engineering in 1406H. • An Aerospace Engineering Program was started in ME Department in 1419H. • The number of students in AE program started with about 20 and has reached over 70. • New Aerospace Engineering Department was established in 1423H.

  6. AE Labs Aerodynamics Laboratory The Aerodynamics Laboratory provides a general organizational structure for carrying out fundamental theoretical and experimental research. The laboratory is equipped with several small scale sub-sonic wind tunnels and is primarily used to complements the concepts covered in aerospace engineering course. Wind TunnelThe laboratory has a sub-sonic wind tunnel with a 0.8 m x 1.1 m x 3 m test-section and a maximum flow speed of 40 m/s, an internal six-component wind tunnel strain gauge balance, a shock tube and a Ludwig-tube supersonic-tunnel. Airplane AE Department is equipped with a Royal Saudi Air Force Aircraft BAC-167 (Strike Master). The students are using this lab to give them the feeling of the principles of the real aircraft and to do some measurements on the aircraft. Aerospace Engineering Department
