  The specialty was newly set up to meet demands of the development of aerospace industry, and was given master's degree gift in 2000. This specialty has abundant teachers, and its scientific findings are remarkable. There is an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, nine professors and nine associate professors available in this department.
The main research directions of the specialty are flight vehicle dynamics and control, design and application of flight vehicle aerodynamics, design and application of flight vehicle structure, etc. There are professional laboratories with considerable scale and good experimental facilities here and there are computer rooms for the graduate students to study and make research work. The specialty has obtained one national award and nine provincial awards in recent years.
  After graduate students graduate, they can be engaged in research on flight vehicle’s overall and structural design, or in the technical management and manufactory of flight vehicles, etc. They are suitable for working in the scientific research institutions, enterprises and institutions of high education.

  I. Training Objectives
  To cultivate outstanding talents with solid basic theory and systematical specialized knowledge in modern flight vehicles, who also grasp a foreign language and have a strong ability of using the computer technology and modern experimental techniques. They can be engaged tentatively in scientific research and engineering design which relate to the flight vehicles, and can correlate relevant engineering problems and make innovative research.

  II. Major Research Direction
  1. Flight vehicle dynamics and controlling
  2. Flight vehicle aerodynamics design and application
  3. Structural design and application of flight vehicle

  III. Length of Schooling and Credits
  The full-time master degree candidates’ length of schooling is 2. 5 years. The total credits must get requested 32 credits at least; among them the credits of degree lessons must get requested 19.
