To ensure the success of the APPU project, a dedicated team of permanent staff and PhD candidates of the AWEP department of Delft University of Technology’s Aerospace Engineering faculty is committed to the project. The work on propeller integration is a key focus area of the Flight Performance and Propulsion, with many ongoing projects on propeller aerodynamics operating in non-uniform inflow.  On the other hand, the Propulsion and Power section has a track record in the design of advanced combustors and combustion modelling of alternative fuels. Together with the involvement of students, the various challenges of the APPU project are actively worked on.
