Our mission:

The Institute of Aeroelasticity conducts research into elastic structures, mainly for aircraft, and their interaction in an air stream. Our researchers develop and use digital methods to predict aeroelastic phenomena such as unwanted fluttering as accurately as possible. They study their results in wind tunnel experiments and ground vibration tests. The goal is to make new types of aircraft as safe as possible.

You can find out about our fascinating projects on our website. If you have any technical questions, please get in touch with the relevant contact person.
