Main research topics

Our work centres on mathematical modelling, system dynamics and control, with particular emphasis on sustainability, environment-related applications and unconventional designs. Applications include both manned
and unmanned aerial vehicles across the scale spectrum, all the way from small UAVs to passenger aircraft.

Research interests include:

• Sustainable flight solutions for (un)manned air vehicles
• Unconventional (un)manned air vehicles
• Analysis and control of highly integrated electric aircraft
• Subsystem interactions in (hybrid) electric vehicles
• Propulsion and flight control system integration
• New UAV uses, especially environmental applications
• Flight efficiency in unmanned and micro air vehicles
• Bio-inspired flight mechanics and control
• New (urban) mobility concepts
• Flight testing for small UAVs/ aircraft models.
