Avionics Lab is a multipurpose electronics lab that allows us to design, build and prototype UAV, communication links, and ground station avionics. The lab involves various electronic workbenches, solder stations, instrumentation devices in addition to a PCB manufacturing device.
UAV Integration and Mechanical Design Lab allow us to design and build UAV mechanical subsystems and mechanisms and integrate the avionics to be ready to fly. In addition to various manufacturing and maintenance tools, the lab involves 3D printers enabling rapid prototyping and composite production set-ups.
Composite Manufacturing Lab equipped with all the components needed to engineer composites from part design; analysis to final production. Our multi-disciplinary team mainly works on laminated and sandwich polymer matrix composite structures using several methods and materials listed as: Hand lay-up, Vacuum infusion, Hot press (up to 500 °C, 30 tons and 0.5 m2 active plate area), Heatable plate under vacuum, Autoclave (up to 300 °C and 7 bars) and 3D printers.
Now with support of faculty laboratories, we are able to serve polymer synthesis, electrospinning, electrospraying and polymer film coating. We have fully equipped with the required facilities for for fabrication of advanced technology materials. The instruments in the chemistry lab is listed as: Magnetic stirrers, Analytical balances, Horn sonicator, Homogenizator, Spin coating and Dip coating.
Synthesis and optimization of various nanomaterials (e.g: C - based and BN –based nanostructures) has been conducted in nanomaterial synthesis laboratory. Our team has modified nanomaterials in this laboratory are to provide required nanocomponents such as reinforcements for nanocomposites, catalysts for filtration, fabrication of the micro – nano fluidic devices.
Advanced Characterization Laboratory is the latest addition to our center equipped with the high-tech and most advanced characterization instruments to achieve accurate characterizations of innovative materials developed in our labs. The characterization instruments found in our labs are operated by the expert grad students in their fields can be listed as: Universal Testing Machine (AGS-X 50 kN, Shimadzu), Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA 850, TA Instruments), Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA 55, TA Instruments), Rheometer (DHR 2, TA Instruments).
Gumussuyu Wind Tunnel involves a test room with dimensions (Width x Height x Length) 110 cm x 80 cm x 162 cm enabling 5 m/s < V < 40 m/s speed range tests. The wind tunnel allow us to test small and nano size UAVs and drones or down-scale protypes of air transport vehicles.
This is a graduate student office of İTÜ ARC in UUBF Building (ITU Aero-Astro Faculty) curently performing various research and industrial artificial intelligence, air traffic management and smart air transportation projects such as COPTRA (H2020), START (H2020), AI-RADAD (Industry), Big-Data based Preventive Airline Maintenance (Industry). The office involves 20 study cubics, a meeting room and various computational platforms.
İTÜ ARC owns a test site in Catalca, Istanbul enabling to perform various UAV tests. In addition to storage warehouses, and mini hangars, Orencik involves a mini runway (10x 55 m) and hit-to-recover locations with recover nets. Orencik allow us to perform week-long tests through camping and barbeque parties.
ITU ARC owns a Flight Simulator (B737-800 FNTP II) and in-house developed ATC Controller Working Position (CWP) ability to run co-simulations. the simulator enables to customize the screens to ptotoype and test the novel procedures, trajectory management algorithms, pilot decision support systems and electronic display concepts.
The Boeing - ITU Aerospace Research Center Student Scholarships aim to attract high-quality undergraduate and master students that have technical or business aptitude and who have an interest on The Boeing Company and/or Aerospace sector.
