Institute of Aerospace Engineering


The Institute of Aerospace Engineering (IAE) is part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and its activities are university education, industrial cooperation and scientific research based on tight collaboration with the national aerospace industry.

In the domain of research and industrial cooperation, major fields of experience include aircraft design, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, strength of aircraft structures, safety and reliability analyses of aircraft systems, composite structures and different aspects connected to air transportation safety, management and economics. IAE has also long successful tradition in testing of airplanes and their parts (using its CAA certified testing lab). IAE has constantly research and engineering staff of 30+ researchers and engineers, highly skilled in different branches of aerospace design.

We offer:

  • Design of aircraft structures (metal and composite)
  • Aerodynamic analyses and optimization
  • Aeroelastic analyses
  • Stress analyses and optimization (including fatigue, crashworthiness, …)
  • Reliability analyses for aircraft systems
  • Structural testing (static, fatigue, …)
  • In-flight measurements
  • Economic, security and management studies for air transportation companies

Equipment:

  • Modern CAD systems (CATIA)
  • Modern FEM systems (MSC PATRAN/NASTRAN/DYTRAN, LS DYNA)
  • Modern CFD systems (CFX, Fluent, EDGE)
  • Software for reliability analyses (Relex, Reliasoft, SRC, RIAC, …)
  • Testing lab for static testing of aircraft structures (CAA certified)
  • Testing lab for dynamic testing of aircraft structures (CAA certified)
  • Testing lab for material properties measurements
  • Composite lab
  • Equipment for aerodynamic, control and stability measurements
  • Equipment for in - flight testing
