In addition to the theoretical and applied research, the Chair of Aircraft Design also focuses on developing tools to support design and optimization of aerospace vehicles. This includes development of in-house tools that enable multidisciplinary and multi-fidelity analysis, design, and optimization of aerospace vehicles and also extension and integration of various already available software.
