The only institute to graduate aeronautical engineers in Chile is the Academia Politecnica Aeronautica (A.P.A.) of the Chilean Air Force. A very important part of the six-year curriculum is the aircraft design project in the final year. In this paper we analyze how the aeronautical engineer curriculum leads the students to the finalproject of Aircraft Design, which is a conceptual design of an aircraft that satisfies a current or future operational requirements of the Chilean Air Force. Finally, the general procedure of the aircraft design course is presented, and there are shown the projects developed by the students during the last years, that includes a basic training, an advanced training/attack, and a tactical transport aircraft.
