Profile
Teaching Profile
The main activities of Institute of Aerospace Engineering (IAE) are focused on education, applied research and aircraft testing. Within graduate studies, IAE educates aeronautical engineers in two specializations: Aircraft Design and Air Transport. The study program is two years long, resuming three years bachelor’s degree in general machinery supplied by faculty. The studies are finished by final project based on practical cooperation with aircraft industry companies. During the study the graduates gains qualification in wide variety of disciplines making them possible to get position not only in airspace industry. There is also ongoing three years long bachelor’s study program in specialization Professional pilot.
Scientific Profile
Main scientific activities of IAE are focused in the following fields: The application of modern computational methods in the area of the aircraft design numerical methods for aerodynamics and structures – CFD and FEM (high-lift devices development, aerodynamic loads calculation, airfoil aerodynamics and development, ice accretion simulations, landing gear design, composite materials in aircraft structures) application of CAD tools for parametric geometry models Aircraft structures testing static and dynamic tests of aircraft structures and specimen composite materials properties and their application in aircraft structures conducted in test laboratory certified under Czech CAA and there are also conducted stability and control and also structural in flight measurements on flight test laboratory developed on IAE. All students – in a master’s and Ph.D. study programs – are widely engaged in practical solution of this projects.
