The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan has, since its inception, been recognized as one of the leading Aero departments in the country. Throughout our nearly 100-year history, our educational and research activities have been organized around advancing and teaching the essential elements associated with air and their associated technologies.

Gas Dynamics
Gasdynamics is the study of compressible flows: either around aerodynamic bodies (external flows, aerodynamics or fluid dynamics) or through engines  (internal flows or propulsion). Read more…

Structures and Materials
Structural mechanics is the study of the mechanical behavior of solids and structures. Aerospace structures differ from other structures due to the highest demands for performance and light weight. Read more…

Dynamics and Controls
The field of flight dynamics and control deals with the motion of flight vehicles in the atmosphere and in space, as well as dynamics, control, and planning issues related to flight and space applications. Read more…
