RESEARCHAREASFor the development of aircraft and spacecraft, space utilization, and other related purposes, education and research in the department focus on the following specialized disciplines: fluid mechanics to study vortices and shock waves, structural engineering to study the strength and weight reduction of structures; propulsion engineering to study jet engines; control engineering to study autopilots and navigation systems; engineering in space environment utilization to study the use of microgravity; systems engineering for comprehensive assessment and design; and remote sensing to observe the earth from space. The students learn basic theories and advanced technologies that are necessary to design, manufacture, and operate aircraft and spacecraft through research on cutting-edge technical issues in each research field. Courses offered by the department are designed to engineers and researchers with creativity and flexibility. The aim is to bring up specialists who can play a leading role in the future, while developing advanced engineering fields in such a way as to achieve a harmonious balance between the sustainable development of humankind and conservation of the earth environment based on fundamental technologies in aerospace engineering. The goal is to help students deepen their understanding of specialized aerospace fields as well as to develop their abilities to think comprehensively, which is special quality in aerospace engineering, as well as their system design abilities. To fulfill this aim and goal, the students are divided into some research groups in the following specialized fields: aerodynamics, aerospace structural engineering, aerospace propulsion engineering, aerospace systems engineering, aerospace control engineering, and engineering in space environment utilization. These groups cooperate with each other, to conduct education and research of aircraft, spacecraft, space environment utilization, earth observation, and other subjects.Aerodynamics and Flow Control, Theoretical and Numerical Fluid Dynamics, Inatable Membrane Structure, Developing a Small, Lightweight Helicopter for Environmental Measurements, High Eciency Energy Conversion by an Innovative Cycle, Remote Sensing from Space, Remote Sensing and Atmospheric Research, Structural Reliability and Optimum Design, Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Systems, Analysis and Synthesis of Control Systems, Space Environmental UtilizationAbout 110 and 60 years have passed since the rst airplane ight in the humanhistory, and the development of the Pencil Rocket, respectively: Our dreamsand technologies into the sky and space have no limitation.▲Launch of "CEES Rocket" developed by students▲JT9D-7R4D jet engine in OPU▲Supersonic wind tunnel test of a supersonicaircraft model6
