Aerospace technology is one of the most significant innovations of the 20th century. It has changed people's lives more dramatically than almost any other field of technology. Aviation set the process of global networking in motion long before the digital revolution. Today, space travel enables worldwide communication in live quality. Numerous other fascinating applications are still being born from aerospace technology today and will be in the future, such as the observation of geophysical processes from space, flying cabs or door-to-door logistics services, global positioning with millimeter precision, autonomous mobility in the air and on the road.
Our Department of Aerospace Engineering (LRT) has a wide range of fundamental and application-oriented research fields. We analyze and design flow and thermal processes, design and build high-performance materials and structures, and develop and program complex, highly automated and sensor-bearing systems in space, in the air and on the road.
