Summer School @ DLR: Aeroelastic and Structural Challenges in Future Aircraft Design
2 – 6 June 2025, German Aerospace Center (DLR) Göttingen, Germany
The summer school will cover:

• Lectures to introduce both fundamentals and advanced topics of aeroelasticity, loads analyses, aerodynamic design, flow control, structural dynamics, control, and structural optimization
• Hands-on experiments in the laboratory to demonstrate static and dynamic aeroelastic effects in the wind tunnel as well as applied system identification (experimental modal analyses)
• Workshops to introduce state-of-the-art software for loads analyses and structural optimization

Registration will open soon. More information HERE!

Matchmaking event #1: A Successful Collaboration for Future Research Directions

On 12^th of March 2025, MechaTwing hosted its first-ever matchmaking session, which saw widespread participation from team members as well as researchers from outside the project working on related areas. The event was a dynamic and engaging experience that successfully fostered new ideas and potential collaborations, generating exciting prospects for the future of research.

The session, held in a hybrid format, brought together teams from the four distinguished Partner institutions PoliTo, DLR, and the TU Wien. Through this interactive event, researchers exchanged ideas, explored synergies, and discovered innovative approaches that could shape the next phase of their work. The use of online brainstorming tools played a key role in capturing valuable insights, ensuring the generation of forward-thinking and promising research directions.

The event was an outstanding example of collaboration, where the vibrant exchange of ideas between researchers from diverse disciplines contributed to an energised atmosphere. With several excellent and innovative ideas emerging from the session, the event has paved the way for exciting opportunities in MechaTwing’s ongoing research efforts.

We look forward to the next phase of collaboration, as these ideas take shape and inspire the next breakthroughs in the project.

Kick off Meeting (KoM) took place on 19th and 20th of September 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The Coordinator of the project hosted this two-day event at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague.
