Aero 2 Exam SoSe 25

  • Hello. From my own experience,

    For the theory part: Understanding the topics covered in the lecture is most important. Also focus on diagrams, plot, sketches. Know why a scenario occurs, e.g. in transonic flow past an airfoil, why does a local shockwave occur and how can the formation of this be delayed? (supercritical airfoil) You get the idea.

    For the numerical/calculation part: Be well versed with the exercise sheets. The questions will not be too complicated, rather it is a race against time.

    Wishing you all the best.

  • Thanks for the message. I had 1 question, do you remember if the exam consisted more of theoretical questions from lectures/ numerical questions from the exercises?

    If I remember correctly, there were two question papers: one for theoretical, one for numerical. If the exam procedure is same as last year, you will be asked to complete the theory part first, set that aside and 5 minutes later, start with the numerical part.

    I don't recall how many questions were there in the theory part, but the numerical part had 4 or 5 questions, all of them were based on the exercises (eg. de Laval nozzle with different values, same goes for compressible wing theory).
