Learning facilities
|
The DCA has a set of laboratories, complemented by a technical support office, a tool shop, a materials room and a specialized workshop where it is possible to build components and prototypes. FabLab is also available, where it is possible to manufacture advanced components for the development of prototypes, thus complementing the already existing capabilities in the Department.
Laboratories:
- Aerodynamics and Propulsion
- Anemometry
- Avionics and Control
- Structures and Vibrations
- Computational Fluid Mechanics
- Materials
- Research in Transportation
Each DCA research group has its own current computing capability. This capability allows both the use of various commercial analysis and simulation programs and the development of software for specific applications.
