As the last visit during our third activity week, we visited aerospace department at the university in Delft, TU Delft. Professor Arvind Gangoli Rao received us with an extensive agenda for the day.

The day started with a short introduction of the department and the university as a whole, afterwards we had a couple of tours of the various testing and research facilities, including the wind tunnels (which numbered 11). We also got to see some presentations, one of a very interesting European research project (AHEAD), and a presentation of an ongoing master thesis.

Overall it was a well-planned and executed day with activities, presentations and meetings. I believe I speak for all of us when I say we got a very positive impression of TU Delft and personally I’m a bit surprised that I hadn’t heard of the university before. It is, after all, the university with the largest aerospace department in western Europe…
