Research

During the second year, you will yourself engage in research that is related to on-going programmes in our department.

In the MSc Track Flight Performance and Propulsion there is cooperation with the research groups of sections Aerodynamics and Aerospace Structures.

The research is conducted in the areas of:

  • Flight Performance
  • Aircraft Propulsion and Gas turbines
  • Aircraft Design and Design Methodologies

Internal research programmes
