After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• calculate and design aviation gearboxes against the background of aviation regulations and building regulations of the licensing authorities   
  
• independently design aviation gearboxes  
  
•  to assess aviation gearboxes technically and with regard to the approval aspects   
  
• design aviation gearboxes against the background of the system design of rotary-wing aircraft and to integrate them into the system of rotary-wing aircraft   
  
•  experimentally develop, test aviation gearboxes and test in evidence against the background of aviation regulations and building regulations of the licensing authorities  
  
•  to design, calculate and implement selected machine elements based on standards and calculation regulations  
  
•  independently solve design and construction tasks professionally  
  
•  recognize and use the advantages and disadvantages of machine elements and their areas of application in the constructive environment
