FSP Aviation Technologies

Research in the field of aviation is characterized by great diversity and an international orientation. Current challenges in global aviation research include environmental compatibility, electric flying, hydrogen technologies, alternative fuels, new aircraft concepts and structures, optimized components and flight control (Zero Emission ed. BDLI 2020). The advanced technologies required for this range from lightweight structures to novel aircraft concepts. Aeronautical engineering at TUHH has focused primarily on aircraft systems and equipment, cabin and comfort, materials and production, and aircraft design and air transport systems, with research aligned with the international EU Green Aviation strategies and the ACARE Flight Path 2050. In terms of content, aeronautical engineering at the TUHH is focused on topics reflecting both the already developed competence of the participating institutes and the research needs in aviation. A large number of institutes from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science are cooperating, which means that interdisciplinary tasks in particular can be dealt with effectively. Of particular advantage for the work is the intensive interdisciplinary cooperation of the TUHH institutes in the fields of aeronautics, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. In this way, the expertise of scientists from different disciplines such as acoustics, thermodynamics, systems engineering, design and composites can flow together effectively. Synergy effects can be used, which leads to a strengthening of the competences of the research focus internally and externally - the chances for funding from outside the university are very successfully realized. With a very high rate of third-party funding, the Hamburg location offers ideal opportunities to work directly with the major systems companies, suppliers, operators and maintenance companies, e.g. within the framework of the aviation research program LuFo. In teaching, the bachelor's and master's degree programs in aircraft systems engineering represent an important systems engineering training focus at the TUHH. This is also increasingly used by AIRBUS for the university training of approx. 20 dual students per year. Important growth opportunities are seen in post-university training, e.g. for hydrogen-based aircraft technologies, but also in the design of international courses of study, e.g. with Toulouse and Bordeaux.
