Departments and Chairs

Faculty of Aerospace Engineering  

The scope of Aerospace Engineering is focused on the study of two main objects: the aircraft and the spacecraft. The interrelationship between the content of research and teaching determines how responsibilities are divided over the four scientific departments.

There are 4 departments within the faculty:

Aerodynamics, Wind Energy, Flight Performance and Propulsion (AWEP)

• Aerodynamics
• Wind Energy
• Flight Performance & Propulsion

Control and Operations (C&O)

• Control and Simulation
• Air Transport and Operations  

Aerospace Structures and Materials (ASM)

• Aerospace Structures & Computational Mechanics
• Novel Aerospace Materials
• Structural Integrity & Composites

Faculty AE has a very advanced structures and materials laboratory:

• Delft Aerospace Structures and Materials Laboratory

Space Engineering (SpE)

• Astrodynamics and Space Missions
• Space Systems Engineering
