Lighter than Air Systems

Lighter-than-Air (LTA) systems were once a significant part of Aerospace Engineering, which used to be technological developments’ forefront until the late 1930s when it got shoved into oblivion. However, this subject was finally revived during the mid-1980s when people regained interest in such long endurance applications that consume low fuel. Therefore, the Lighter than Air Systems program enlightens students about this field, its fundamentals, and presents a holistic overview of LTAs.

The Lighter than Air Systems certification syllabus lasts 12 weeks, covering one topic every week. These include LTA systems’ background, developed airships, historical perspectives, static lift estimations, airship design methodologies, aerostat design methodology, and more. Swayam delivers this curriculum through CDEEP’s in-class video lectures, which IIT Bombay’s Professor Rajkumar S. Pant had delivered in 2015.

Swayam also offers monthly interactive sessions online, where the Lighter than Air Systems training candidates clear their doubts with instructors. This course also has industry support from Lockheed Martin, Airbus, ISRO, ADRDE, Boeing, and NAL.
