Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kanpur This is the official page of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Kanpur All other academic institutions in the country make use of this facility.

Established in 1964, Aerospace Engineering department is a Premier teaching and research centre today. The department is engaged in engineering science instruction, in-flight laboratory work, aerodynamic testing, and indigenous design and fabrication of advanced facilities and instruments. The department specializes in aerodynamics, flight mechanics, propulsion, and aerospace structures. It has a

unique flight laboratory with four powered aircrafts, four gliders and a 1000 m runway. The Gliding and Soaring centre attached to the department has significantly contributed to the aviation awareness amongst the young through its glider pilot training program. The department has completed and currently involved in a large number of sponsored and consultancy projects for the agencies like AR&DB, ARMREB, ADA, ADE, ADRDE, ASTE, AICTE, DST, DRDL, GTRE, VSSC, ISRO, CSIR, HAL, MHRD, ARDE, HEMRL, CEMILAC, Indian Railways. The expert faculty has designed and developed high-speed and low-speed wind tunnels, measurement methods using hot wire and laser Doppler anemometry, industrial and wind energy aerodynamics, subsonic and transonic flow computations, hypersonic flow computations for re-entry vehicles, and the design and optimization of the fiber-reinforced composite structures for static, dynamic and random loadings. Over the years the department has also developed excellent collaborative relationship leading to work on several advanced projects of national importance with a large number of aeronautical establishments including NAL, ASTE, GTRE, HAL, DRDL, ADE, ARDE, ADA and ISRO.

.’s incubated EndureAir used smaller drones to fly very close to the dams that were damaged in Uttarakhand, when the glacier broke off in Joshimath, Chamoli district in Feb. They created very high-quality videos of the whole structure to help engineers obtain a clear perspective of the extent of the damage. Good work by EndureAir to help in the relief ops.
