In fact, the school has made great academic and scientific achievements in engineering, applied science, medicine, agriculture and environmental science and management in Europe and even the world. At the same time, many majors in the school are closely related to industry and national defense in Britain and even Europe. The research and development of the world's first generation stealth fighter F 1 17, Harrier fighter and European fighter-eurofighter typhoon are all related to this school. According to statistics, 54% members of the Royal Aviation Association and more than 25% agricultural and environmental researchers graduated from Cranfield University.
