The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft is one of the world’s most highly ranked (and most comprehensive) research, education and innovation communities devoted entirely to aerospace engineering. More than 200 science staff, around 250 PhD candidates and over 2,700 BSc and MSc students apply aerospace engineering disciplines to address the global societal challenges that threaten us today, climate change without doubt being the most important. The focal subjects: sustainable aerospace, big data and artificial intelligence, bio-inspired engineering and smart instruments and systems.
