Aeronautics | Education | Department of Thermal and Fluid Engineering (TFE) UTwente

TFE contributes to the specilization Aeronautics. On this page information will be provided regarding the track, the education, and the related research in the participating groups as well as the practical relevance and the (urgent) challenges industry and society face in this areas. You may be one of the engineers contributing significantly to the solution! We hope to motivate you !

In particular now, where the future of the aeronautical sector and the future of air transport and mobility may change even more rapidly than anticipated in the wake of the world wide corona crisis that at this moment has crippled air traffic almost completely. Your talent is needed!
