Departments and Chairs

The faculty of Aerospace Engineering is concentrated in departments in such a way that chairs with related areas of interest are set closely together.

There are 6 departments within the faculty:

Aerodynamics and Wind Energy (AEWE)

• Aerodynamics
• Wind Energy
• Flight Performance & Propulsion
• Aerospace for Sustainable Science and Technology

Control and Operations (C&O)

• Control and Simulation
• Air Transport and Operations
• Acoustic Remote Sensing

Aerospace Structures & Design Methodologies (AS&DM)

• Aerospace Structures
• Systems Engineering and Aircraft Design 

Aerospace Materials and Manufacturing (AMM)

• Design and Production of Composite Structures
• Novel Aerospace Materials
• Structural Integrity

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

Remote Sensing (RS)

• Optical Remote Sensing
• Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning
• Physical and Space Geodesy
