Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Kanpur

The Institute's Aerospace Engineering programme trains the students for a professional career in aerospace engineering by offering a comprehensive programme of teaching and research. Special stress is given to flight mechanics, aerodynamics, structural and propulsion problems of aerospace vehicles. Postgraduate courses and research further trains the students in aerospace structures and propulsion leading to M. Tech. and Ph. D. degrees.

The aerodynamics facilities of the Department include several low speed wind tunnels, a high speed blowdown tunnel and hot wire anemometry. The National wind tunnel facility is one of its kind in India which was designed and erected by the faculty of aerospace engineering department. The flight laboratory has a four single-engined planes and several gliders and provides an opportunity for the students to participate in quantitative flight tests. The propulsion laboratory facilities include a cascade tunnel, a continuous combustion unit and axial compressor.The department also has good computational facilities that aid in teaching and research of computational mechanics.
