Onderzoeksgroepen

Aan de faculteit Luchtvaart- en Ruimtevaarttechniek wordt onderzoek gedaan naar  luchtvaartstructuren en luchtvaartmaterialen, aërodynamica, vliegprestaties en voortstuwing van vliegtuigen, windenergie, leiding en beheer van luchtvaart, vliegvelden en vliegtuigen en ruimtevaarttechnologie. We zijn ervaren in het doen van interdisciplinair onderzoek en integreren daarbij fundamenteel onderzoek met ingenieursdisciplines en ontwerp. Waarom we dat doen? Om innovatieve en betrouwbare technologie te ontwikkelen voor veilig, schoon, stil en efficient luchttransport, ruimtevaart en duurzame energie.
