Aeronautics research

Aeronautical research at the SR institute focuses on the design of novel flight control systems and aircraft systems. We aim to reduce the aircraft’s weight by actively alleviating structural loads and by improving the (partly) autonomous operation of manned and unmanned air- craft. In order to reduce fuel consumption, the institute also develops, assesses and optimizes advanced energy systems for future aircraft.

Flight control


The design and optimization of aircraft control systems has a key impact on improving environmental friendliness, economic viability and safety of future aircraft generations.

Flight dynamics and structural loads


The analysis of flight dynamics and structural loads is a key aspect in the design optimization for environmentally friendly and highly efficient aircraft configurations as well as for the design of their flight control systems.

Aircraft energy systems


In today’s aircraft, all on-board systems are supplied by hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric energy. For decades, however, there has been a development trend leading towards “More Electric Aircraft”. This term refers to architectures, where hydraulically or pneumatically driven on-board systems are re- placed by electrically driven systems.
