The Laboratory of Thermal Turbomachines (LTT) of the School of Mechanical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) conducts research, education and industrial collaboration in turbomachinery, gas turbines, jet propulsion, aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, engine modelling, performance monitoring and fault diagnostics. Its facilities include low- and high-speed turbomachinery test rigs, advanced flow-measurement instrumentation and diagnostic systems, while its research covers real-time engine models, probabilistic and AI-assisted diagnostics, aerodynamic optimisation and aircraft-engine health monitoring. Within the space ecosystem, LTT is particularly relevant to propulsion-system modelling, turbomachinery for aerospace applications, UAV and aircraft engine testing, high-speed aerodynamics, condition monitoring and technologies that can support future space propulsion and flight systems.
