Aono Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the design of small flying vehicles and the flight of living creatures.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how things fly to design flying vehicles.
The Aono Lab studies the system design of small flying vehicles and the mechanisms of flight in living creatures.
The lab deals with the aerodynamics, actuation mechanisms, structures, and control of small flying vehicles, and also works on the design and performance evaluation of vehicles for extreme environments such as high altitude and the Martian atmosphere.
Associate Professor Hikaru Aono's research career began with insect flight and flapping wings and extends to the conceptual design of planetary flight explorers for Mars and other planets.
Associate Professor Aono joined Tokyo University of Science from Shinshu University in April 2026.
Key terms
- Aerodynamics
- A field that studies the airflow around a flying vehicle and the forces acting on it.
- Flapping wing
- A wing that flies by flapping, like those of birds and insects.
- Extreme environments
- Here, environments such as high altitude and the Martian atmosphere, whose conditions differ greatly from those of ordinary flight.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the system design of small flying vehicles and the elucidation of how living creatures fly. It also deals with the design and performance evaluation of flying vehicles for extreme environments such as high altitude and the Martian atmosphere.
