Abstract: Based on the study of graduate-training model in the course of aerospace vehicle design MSc in Cranfield university， UK，its characteristics and special group design project are presented. One of the unique features of the course is the group design project，which has played a fundamental part in aircraft design education. Examples of recent subject aircraft are presented along with some key steps to guarantee the success of group design project. Certain insights are gained which are helpful to our country's graduate education.
