The School of Aerospace is committed to both serving the strategic needs of the country and extending the frontiers of scientific research. It strives to capitalize on the strengths of Beihang University and ENAC for enriching interdisciplinary research and achieving scientific breakthroughs.

With these missions in mind, the School has established its focus on four topics, i.e. trans-sonic aviation aerodynamics and thermodynamics, green aviation and alternative aviation fuels (AAFs), aerospace big data and its environmental and climatic implications, and unmanned/manned general aviation and unconventional aerospace engineering.

The School of Aerospace has Aerospace Thermophysical Experiment Platform, Platform for Distributed Energy and Thermal Management, and Scientific Platform for Aero-Propulsion and Multiphase Flow Research.
