Aeronautical engineering is a branch of aerospace engineering that focuses on the design, construction and upkeep of aircraft and related systems.

The optimisation criteria can be used to develop control schemes suitable in path planning for gull-sized UAVs in order to improve flight performance and avoid turbulence.

We are using inspiration from these biological flyers to develop technologies to improve UAV flight performance. One current focus of our research is the use of distributed arrays of force and flow ...

we develop optical and acoustical field measurement techniques for the acquisition of fluid-mechanical and aero-acoustical quantities and apply them mainly in large industrial wind tunnels and at ...

In this paper, authors propose a CFD simulation method based on biological experimental data to analyze the aerodynamic performance of pigeons during takeoff, leveling flight, and landing in free ...
