Overview
Aerospace science and engineering is a cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary field that allows exploration of the broadest and most fascinating fields of engineering, areas that capture the imagination and encourage exploration beyond our terrestrial existence. The University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) is Canada's leader for education and research in aerospace engineering, focusing on the technical fields needed to design aircraft and spacecraft. Faculty perform research in the following areas:
-
Aeronautics: Aircraft design, systems, and control
-
Experimental methods: Laser diagnostics, structural/material analysis, field testing of robotics and aircraft
-
Flight simulation: Full motion-based flight simulation with virtual reality capability
-
Fluid dynamics: Flow of gasses over aircraft and in engines
-
Numerical methods: Computer modeling for fluid flows, structures, design, and optimization
-
Orbital mechanics: Satellite/spacecraft dynamics and control
-
Propulsion systems: Jet and rocket engines, turbomachinery, combustion science
-
Robotics and autonomous systems: Ground, air and space-based systems
-
Spacecraft design and construction: Design, construction, and launch of satellites
-
Structures and materials: Structural design and optimization, material testing.
Much of this research falls into three main themes:
-
Reducing the environmental impact of aviation
-
Aerial robotics, drones and unmanned aerial vehicles
-
Autonomous systems for space exploration.
