The next Aero-Ukraine workshop will be held in Kharkiv, Ukraine organised by the National Aerospace University on 21st of April. The title of the workshop is “The Ukrainian capabilities in aerospace science and engineering”. On one hand the workshop will present the Ukrainian capabilities in field of aerospace science and engineering and on the other hand it will provide timely information regarding ACARE and the upcoming FP7 5th call. As this is the last workshop in the frame of the European Commission funded Aero-Ukraine project it will also present the work done and the achievements of the project.
National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute” (KhAI) is one of the leading engineering Universities of the former USSR, and the only engineering University in Ukraine providing a full spectrum of higher education in aerospace science and engineering.
Founded in 1930, KhAI now has more than 12 000 students, 800 teachers, 1200 researchers, and 2000 employees. 75% of teachers have academic titles of Professors and Associate Professors, and have achieved PhD and Dr.Sc. degrees. KhAI provides training on 50 major subjects at its 44 departments and is a member of International Association of Universities IAU/UNESCO, as also associate member of European Aeronautic Science Network (EASN), and associate partner of PEGASUS network.
Long-term involvement in aircraft development (first European passenger aircraft with retractable landing gear “KhAI-1” was built in 1932) provides University with wide experience in original ideas generation, new design approaches and methodologies development, structures manufacturing and testing.
Also, KhAI has more than 30-years experience in the field of composite materials R&D (design, simulation, manufacturing, testing, etc.), and application in aeronautic structures. KhAI research results in composite-related areas are deeply integrated in engineering and manufacturing processes of post-soviet, Russian and Ukrainian worldwide known aerospace companies like ANTONOV, SUKHOI, TUPOLEV, YUSHNOYE etc.
Nowadays KhAI is a globally recognized aerospace research centre. It is focused on innovative research across the aerospace industry, and has worked with AIRBUS, ONERA, ThalesAlenia, Boeing, EOARD, IAI, AVIC, and more. The university takes part in research activities with academic and industrial partners from a large number of European and International countries.
