Infrastructure & Facilities

Department Library

INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES

The Department of Aeronautical Engineering has advanced laboratories and high-speed computing facilities as per the aeronautical Engineering requirements. The laboratories are sectioned as per the course structure and advancement in aerospace fields. All these laboratories are developed as per the present curriculum and knowledge inducements, like Aircraft Structures, Aerodynamics both at low and high-speed calculation, Aircraft Propulsion lab, Flight Control Avionics Lab and Advanced computational and Design Lab. The Department has Low Speed Wind Tunnel facility and high-speed wind-tunnel facility (Hypersonic facilities) in the process of development. Also, the department is taking care to train the students on Control Engineering, Space technology and Computational programming under the process of developing such facilities. Excluding to those, other facilities available are workshops, advanced manufacturing Lab and Laboratories for Energy Conversion, Foundry and Forge, Fluid Mechanics, Measurements and Metrology and Materials Testing. Flight Simulation, Flight Vehicle Design, Aircraft System Lab. and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Laboratories will be setup soon. The pictorial view of Department Laboratories and training facilities are shown in below.

Computer Lab Facility
