The department transport aircraft accomplishes the numerical and experimental aerodynamical analysis of modern commercial- and transport-aircraft. The aim is the analysis and optimization of complex and complete aircraft-configurations with the main focus on high-lift systems.

The field of investigation reaches from the preliminary design of complete aircraft configurations up to the detailed aerodynamic design of wings, (wind-) rotors and airfoils. A special emphasis is laid on research and development of laminar flow wings.

Current areas of work:

Preliminary design of complete aircraft configurations

Detailed aerodynamic design

  • Layout of wind-rotors
  • Management of the 3FF-project
  • Contributions to the M-DAW-project

Laminar flow control

  • Measurement of Tollmien-Schlichting-waves
  • Measurement of laminar flow by using thermography
  • Contributions to the ALTTA-project
  • Contributions to the HYLTEC-project
  • Contributions to the HiAer-project
