The "Aircraft Design and Systems Group (AERO)" has also different other names depending on context:
- Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg. Department Fahrzeugtechnik und Flugzeugbau. Aircraft Design and Systems Group (AERO)
(its systematic hierarchical name in the context of the GND)
- Forschungsgruppe Flugzeugentwurf und -systeme (AERO)
(at the Repository of HAW Hamburg)
- Aircraft Design and Systems Group (AERO), Department of Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences
(the name of AERO as publisher at the DNB, see below)
- AERO (abbreviation)
- Aero (old abbreviation)

The "Aircraft Design and Systems Group (AERO)" is registered as publisher (Verlag) at the Germany National Library
(DNB)
and deliveres monographs (Monographien) i.e. reports, theses, conference proceedings, papers in the form of
online publications (Netzpublikationen).
Please see our
documents delivered to the DNB so far.

We started to place our results into WorldCat,
the world library catalog.
This turned out very nicely at first and was based on our own
repository
making use of a so-called
OAI-PMH-Compatible Static Repository at the
library of the University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA).
Unfortunately, the UCLA quit its service. No substitute could be found inspite of a long search.
Document metadata is also reported automatically to WorldCat via the Germany National Library (DNB) – but without an icon of the cover page.
We can live with
these results,
but getting an own OAI-PMH-Repository back in place would be great.

Head of AERO
PhD Students @ AERO
Project Description:
Fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are used in a variety of applications such as surveillance, mapping, and parcel delivery. Design and optimization is required for wing, empennage, propeller, and structure. An engine with proper parameters is selected. The control system is configured. The PhD thesis has its emphasis on aerodynamic design methods of fixed wing UAV for optimum performance. Open-source software is used to reduce computation time and design costs.
Mohamed Sahraoui defended his
dissertation
successfully at
École Militaire Polytechnique
on 3rd July 2025. Congratulations!
