Turkish Aerospace Industry continues to increase its cooperation in the field of R&D. The company, which previously made agreements with many well-established national and international universities, signed a protocol for the establishment of the "Flow Dynamics and Simulation Laboratory", which will be located in Dokuz Eylul University Engineering Faculty.
In the laboratory, where 20 researchers will work, advanced R&D solutions to be used on unique platforms developed by Turkish Aerospace Engineers will be developed together with academicians and students. Within the scope of the protocol, studies that will form the basis of very important projects such as aerodynamics and aircraft performance concept design tool modeling and open source software development will take place.
The signed protocol also includes training graduate students and postdoctoral researchers working on strategic issues for the company, developing undergraduate graduation projects and providing project scholarship opportunities for students. In addition, 70.000 cores will be allocated from a total of 5.000 core computer systems owned by Turkish Aerospace Industries for advanced R&D studies to be carried out in this laboratory.
Sharing his views on academic cooperation, Turkish Aerospace Industries General Manager Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil said, “With our Rooted Universities, we also ensure the academic strength of our engineers working in our Company within the scope of academic studies. We believe that it is important to train engineers at the same time, while implementing the projects that will shape the Turkish Aviation ecosystem, one by one."
