Scientific Description
Mission and objectives
Founded in 1909 by a donation from Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe, the Institut AeroTechnique (IAT) was inaugurated on July 6, 1911 to pursue theoretical and applied research in aerodynamics.With an experience of more than a century in aerodynamics, IAT is a public institution working in partnership with industries and other public institutions and research laboratories in areas such as: aeronautics, automotive, flow control, train aerodynamics, wind energy, wind engineering. The experimental facilities consist of industrial size wind tunnels, test benches and other scientific equipments allowing to perform a variety of industrial, research and/or educational activities.
