We value an interest in science, enthusiasm for research, and commitment! We are always looking for reinforcements for the research and application of advanced methods of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics. The numerical and experimental research work that is conducted at our Institute will contribute towards making the transport systems of the future more economically, viable, environmentally sustainable and comfortable.
We are a leading research institute in the fields of aircraft and vehicle aerodynamics, aircraft and wind turbine aeroacoustics and space vehicle aerothermodynamics. More than 350 employees work on theoretical, numerical and experimental research activities of aircraft and space vehicles, ground-based vehicles and wind turbines - using wind tunnels and test stands as well as in flight tests.
Our mission: Environmental policy framework conditions are playing an increasingly important role, especially in air transport, and here aerodynamics is proving to be a key technology. Future aircraft will be environmentally friendly, safe, quiet and efficient. Aerodynamics can affect almost all flight characteristics that relate to the environment. This area of research can be used to optimize lift, drag – and thus fuel consumption – speed, range and noise characteristics. The numerical and experimental research work that is conducted at our Institute will contribute towards making the transport systems of the future more economically, viable, environmentally sustainable and comfortable.
