            1. Fixed-Wing track. Plan to take MANE 4090 junior or senior year fall semester. Plan to take MANE 4230 senior year spring semester. Flight Mechanics is a prerequisite for Air Vehicle Design, though in select cases it may not need to be a prerequisite with the instructor’s permission.
              Not resolved to a course
            2. Rotorcraft track. In the junior or senior year plan to take either MANE 4120 in fall of an even-year orMANE 4130 in fall of an odd year. (Interested students may choose to take both, applying the second to the Aerospace Technical Elective and/or Free Elective credits.) Plan to take MANE 4210 senior year spring semester. One of either Helicopter Aerodynamics and Performance or Multirotor Aerial Vehicles or MANE 4090 must be taken as a prerequisite to VTOL Aircraft Design, though in select cases it need not be a pre-requisite with the instructor’s permission.
