Overview
Aircraft, spacecraft and satellites are complex technical systems that requires high reliability and advanced control and monitoring systems. Planning issues such as route planning, resource allocation, and backup optimization are regularly reviewed with advanced math and numerical methods.
Research areas
Researchers and engineers in this Aerospace Engineering programme at KTH Royal Institute of Technology work in the design, development, testing and operation and maintenance of commercial and military aircraft, helicopters, spacecraft and satellites.
These technical systems are very complex and proper design and construction depend on the interaction between a variety of disciplines such as aerodynamics, structure, aerosolasticity, flight mechanics, control systems and propulsion.
Programme Structure
Education is mainly conducted in four main areas:- Aeronautics
- Lightweight Structures
- Space Technology
- Systems Engineering
