Antonio Filippone Author & Editor

Professor Antonio Filippone teaches aerospace engineering at the University of Manchester. His research background is on aerodynamic systems for both ground and airborne vehicles. Specifically, he is interested in the development of new high-fidelity methods for the analysis, optimization, and design of aerospace systems and their application to real-life cases. His current interests are in four general areas: 1. aero-acoustics (with emphasis on aircraft noise and noise propagation); 2. aero-mechanics of fixed- and rotary-wing vehicles (commercial airplanes and rotorcraft systems), 3. environmental analysis (exhaust emissions, acoustic emissions, high-altitude effects of flight); 4. multi-disciplinary applications in simulation engineering. His strategic interests are aligned with the themes of transport, energy, and environment. Past experience includes research in industrial flows, wind energy generation, power systems, multi-phase flows, wind tunnel research (mostly aerodynamics/acoustics) and other laboratory measurements, stochastic optimization, and more. Professor Filippone is the author of textbooks on aircraft and rotorcraft flight performance. He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, and a Chartered Engineer.
