1. Introduction to School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiaotong University:
Shanghai Jiaotong University is the earliest university in China to offer aviation specialty, which has a good aerospace tradition and trained a large number of outstanding aerospace talents.
The Aerospace Research Institute consists of Aircraft Design Department, Aerospace Information and Control Department, Aerospace Propulsion Department, Aerospace System Engineering Research Center, Adjacent Space Research Center and wu zhen Source Aerodynamics Center. He has a doctorate in "Aerospace Science and Technology" and "Aircraft Design" was selected as the first batch of disciplines with national defense characteristics.
With the first-class discipline of aerospace science and technology as the core and the related advantageous disciplines as the support, the College has formed a number of characteristic directions, such as system engineering, overall aerodynamics, structural strength, avionics control and power propulsion.
Two. Introduction to aerospace specialty:
Aerospace majors mainly study the structure, performance and motion law of aircraft, and train engineering and technical personnel who can design and manufacture aircraft and send them into space.
Faculty and institutional setup of School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiaotong University;
