We are an Australian leader in aerospace engineering and aviation research, with Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA 2018) rating RMIT at "well above world standard" for aerospace engineering. Our research has an integrated engineering approach to systems development, operations and life-cycle management across three main areas: aviation, urban transport systems, and integrated transport logistics and life-cycle management.
Our research activity encompasses four capability areas, each supporting several key technologies.
Aerospace materials and multifunctional composite structures
Unmanned aircraft systems design and field operations
Aerodynamic loading and multidisciplinary design and optimisation
Avionics, air traffic management and mission systems
We work with a range of Australian and global organisations to provide innovative solutions across civil and defence industries. Our partners include:
Highlights of our current research include:
Our expertise and facilities contribute to many research organisations across Australia.
Our work is supported by major state-of-the-art research infrastructure.
