In field of Aeronautical Engineering Nehru Group of Institutions has proven the academic excellence for past 51 years. Jawaharlal College of Engineering and Technology is the first college in Kerala to start B.Tech in aeronautical engineering in the year 2008. The Department has well equipped laboratories, experienced faculties and three operational aircrafts for training the students. The aircrafts include Bombardier Learjet 25, Cessna 152 and Ercoupe. The subsonic wind tunnel in the aerodynamics lab allows the students to test the models so that they gain practical knowledge about the subject. We have set up seven other labs in the department for training the students. Eight batches have successfully completed the course from our college from which majority of the students are placed in aeronautical core companies.
The Department is known to offer the students a very dynamic environment and a reasonable amount of freedom so that the individual can pursue their heart’s desire. It has modern infrastructure with hi-tech laboratories. It actively tries to fill the gap between academic and industrial needs by organizing guest lectures, seminars and workshops on current technology by inviting eminent persons from premier aeronautical industries and institutes. Be it academics, sports, cultural, or any other activity, you will be finding myriad opportunities to build up your personality and add value to your life.
I am hoping that students will be able to explore the unending map of possibilities, push your boundaries, break all the walls and bring out the best version of yourself by the time you finish your Degree Programme.
I am sure that the students of the department will show a high level of professional competence in their respective areas. I wish my students all the best for all their endeavours.
The Learjet 25 is an American ten-seat (two crew and eight passengers), twin-engine, high-speed business jet aircraft manufactured by Learjet. It is a stretched version of the Learjet 24. The first Model 25 flew on August 12, 1966, and the first delivery was in November 1967.
The Cessna 152 is an American two-seat, fixed tricycle gear, general aviation airplane, used primarily for flight training and personal use. It was based on the earlier Cessna 150, including a number of minor design changes and a slightly more powerful engine running on 100LL aviation gasoline.
The ERCO Ercoupe is a low-wing monoplane aircraft that was designed and built in the United States. It was first manufactured by the Engineering and Research Corporation (ERCO) shortly before World War II; several other manufacturers continued its production after the war.
Majority of experimental data needed in aerodynamics is generated using wind tunnels. Wind Tunnel is a device for producing airflow relative to the body under test. Wind tunnels provide uniform flow conditions in their test section.
A jet engine is a reaction engine discharging a fast-moving jet that generates thrust by jet propulsion. This broad definition includes air breathing jet engines (turbojets, turbofans, ramjets, and pulse jets) and non-air breathing jet engines (such as rocket engines). In general, jet engines are combustion engines
In common parlance, the term jet engine loosely refers to an internal combustion air breathing jet engine. These typically feature a rotating air compressor powered by a turbine, with the leftover power providing thrust via a propelling nozzle — this process is known as the Brayton thermodynamic cycle.
This Lab enables the students gain a fair knowledge on design, analysis and simulation of aircraft structural parts, and also focuses on the practical learning of the simulation applications of the aircraft parts and sub systems. In addition to this, it helps us in examining the different parameters and factors affecting its performance.
