Facilities
The Chair of Aircraft Engineering has extensive facilities for conducting experimental investigations. A selection of the equipment available at the Chair of Aircraft Engineering is listed below.
Research aircraft
Research aircraft D-EMWF of the TUD Dresden University of Technology
A single-engine Cessna 172 (registration D-EMWF) is available at the Chair of Aircraft Engineering as a research aircraft since May 2023 for research and teaching.
X-ray microscope
X-ray microscope Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa
The Chair of Aircraft Engineering participates in the use of the Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa (in future 620 Versa) 3D X-ray microscope, located at the Dresden Center for Nanoanalysis. Using the high-resultion imaging method, non-destructive testing of fiber reinforced composites as well as metallic additively manufactured structures is possible.
