Research

The Research Group for Aircraft Systems was established in 2021 with funding from the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK), TU Wien and co-financing industrial partners within the framework of an endowed professorship at TU Wien.

The research group Aircraft Systems deals with the following topics:

  • Integration of electric propulsion technologies: systems for hydrogen storage and processing (CGH2/LH2), fuel cells, accumulators, engines, transmissions, propulsors,
  • Efficient thermal management and integration of thermal management systems into the airframe,
  • Aerodynamics and aeroacoustic simulations of aircraft systems,
  • Validation of numerical models based on tests with scaled components,
  • Component optimisation and system integration, as well as
  • Development of reduced-order models and corresponding software tools for use in aircraft concepts and system simulation environments.
