The Institute and its altitude test stand
It is at the center of the Institute’s work: our altitude test stand for aircraft engines. The Institute’s history started with the test stand’s first version in 1960 when Prof. Ulrich Senger led the rebuilding of aeronautics research at the Stuttgart Technical University. Since that time, ILA has continually expended its core competencies to keep pace with the numerous research activities and requirements of its partners.
The Institute and its people
Currently, the Institute has more than 50 scientific and technical personnel. Many alumni started their scientific careers at ILA. With its many lectures and training activities the Institute makes a solid contribution to the future engineering careers of the men and women in the aerospace engineering study programs.
