Aircraft Design

Introduction

The Aircraft Design team develops complete solutions that cover everything from conceptual design to detailed analysis and experimental validation. They combine advanced computational fluid dynamics techniques with manufacturing and testing capabilities to assess and refine each configuration. Their work focuses especially on aircraft for Innovative Air Mobility, including multirotors, unmanned fixed-wing platforms, and aircraft with electric propulsion.
