On Campus
Aerospace engineering research at Bristol is organised via cross-faculty research groups with interests spanning four key areas:
- Fluid Flow and Aerodynamics
- Bristol Composites Institute (BCI)
- Dynamics and Control
- Robotics.
This work is supported by at least 50 academic staff, more than 70 research staff and over 240 postgraduate students, plus a highly experienced administrative and technical support team.
Aerospace engineering is a specific discipline involving experimental, numerical, theoretical and computational research which is later applied to aerospace-related problems, for example, fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, wind turbines and UAVs.
All postgraduates would expect to publish in high-quality journals and present at international conferences so our research programmes are aimed at independent and self-motivated applicants.
