Aircraft and Spacecraft Design

aircdesign

The research activity dealing with the design of aircraft and spacecraft aims at the development of innovative solutions and efficient computational models. Particular attention is paid to:

  • Development of numerically efficient stick models for the analysis of complex structures made of metallic and composite materials. 1D and 2D models are mainly used, and multifield capabilities are accounted for.
  • The design of innovative architectures.
  • Aeroelastic analysis of wings and panels.
  • The design of inflatable structures.
