With over 80 years of experience in aerospace research, the IFL is an innovation leader shaping the future of aircraft design and lightweight structures. Our mission is to identify new technologies at an early stage, develop them further and apply them across all sectors for the benefit of society today and tomorrow. We take a systemic and multidisciplinary perspective that goes beyond the traditional focus on aeronautics to include other mobility and product development topics. Our international team is built on respect, commitment, team spirit and collaboration. We educate the next generation of engineers through research-based, interdisciplinary and practice-oriented teaching. Our aim is to equip undergraduate and postgraduate students with the latest methods, technologies and a in-depth understanding in a creative and attractive working environment to best prepare them for the challenges of the future.
