Research efforts centre on developing and applying S&T capabilities in the areas of experimental and computational aeromechanics as well as in aerostructures. The combination of talented engineers, scientists and technicians with modern facilities - including wind tunnels, structural test facilites and computer clusters - has resulted in a hub of world-class aeronautical expertise.
Typical activities and competencies include wind-tunnel testing; material specification and testing; helicopter structural and aerodynamic technology; gas turbine engine technology; air weapons flow and structural characterisation; flutter analysis and prediction; store carriage and release prediction; computational fluid dynamics (CFD); portal ground vibration testing (GVT); flutter flight test software and hardware systems; simulation-based acquisition and operational support; mechanical weapons and store integration; and aircraft structures technology.
