RESEARCH EXPERTISE
Aircraft Engineering
The research within the aeronautical engineering includes investigating new technological solutions to aircraft sustainable design and performance. Numerical and experimental tools have been made available to conduct study on aerodynamic improvement to aircraft high-lift systems, looking into hydrogen propulsion configuration for emission reduction, and design optimisation of aerodynamic systems for an efficient and sustainable operation.
