Aeronautical Engineering

MSc project

The project is an important part of your MSc where you can apply your newly learned skills and show to future employers that you have been working on cutting edge projects relevant to the industry.

You can choose a topic from a list of MSc projects in Aeronautical Engineering, some examples include:

• Upgrading an airport design software package
• Post buckling response of couples and uncoupled composite skew panels
• Simulating the dynamics of a hovercraft
• UAV path planning
• Developing image boundary detection algorithms
• Mathematical modelling of adaptive-optic systems
• Co-operative control of autonomous micro-UAS swarms
• Vorticity and vortex dynamics
• Experimental and numerical modelling of unsteady flow past vertical axis wind turbines
• Simulation of bluff-body interaction
• Airship technology - the current status
• High altitude aerospace vehicles - design for autonomous, long endurance operation

Alternatively, should you have your own idea for a project, department members are always open to discussion of topics.
