Education and teaching Show/Hide content

Fluid power systems and aircraft design

We offer courses in fluid power systems and aircraft design at both basic and advanced levels. We are the only university in Sweden that gives advanced courses in fluid power systems.

We give courses in fluid power systems and aircraft design at both basic and advanced levels to around 300 engineering students each year.

Our undergraduate courses are taken mainly by students in mechanical engineering. We provide the most comprehensive education in fluid power systems, with the possibility of specialisation at the advanced level.

It is also possible to carry out a thesis project within the subjects mechatronics, fluid power systems and aircraft design, either in a company or within our laboratory.

We are the only university in Sweden that gives advanced courses in fluid power systems.

Aeronautical Engineering, Master's Programme, 120 credits

This programme offers a holistic view on aircraft design. Thanks to close collaboration between the University and the aerospace industry, you will be prepared for working with aircraft design, aircraft engineering, or wind turbine engineering.

Mechanical Engineering, Master's Programme, 120 credits

This programme covers the entire product development cycle, from idea to the final product. With five specialisations and close industry collaborations, you will be qualified for work in any field of development, engineering or manufacturing.

Doctoral studies in Mechanical Engineering

A classic engineering field joining technology, physics, materials science and mathematics. Our university is conducting advanced research in areas such as fluid and mechatronic systems, machine design, and applied thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Research Show/Hide content

We have the largest university laboratory for fluid power systems in Sweden. Key words for our research are efficiency and system dynamics.

The characteristics of our research projects are a close connection between the fluid and mechatronic systems, propulsion systems, power transmission, actuator system, sensors and control systems. Our research philosophy is a strong combination of theory and experimental research.

We carry out research in close cooperation with industry and other research groups. Every fourth year we organise the Scandinavian Conference in Fluid Power (SICFP), one of the largest fluid power conferences in Europe.

We conduct research within three main fields

Fluid Power

LiU has the largest university laboratory for fluid power systems in Sweden. We aim to develop smarter and more energy efficient hydraulic systems, components and methods to reduce energy losses.

Aircraft design and systems

We carry out research in close cooperation with the aviation industry, where our research focusses on design, concept development, aircraft systems, aerodynamics and sub-scale test flights.

System Modeling, Simulation and Optimization

LiU, and the Division of Fluid and Mechatronic Systems in particular, is host for HOPSAN – a simulation tool that can predict fluid power, electric power, flight and vehicle dynamics.

The Thulin gold medal for Petter Krus

"In collaboration with other universities, Petter Krus creates good conditions for Sweden to be at the forefront of research in the aeronautical field. Petter Krus is thereby particularly deserving of the Thulin gold medal.”

IDEAS 2022: Breaking Boundaries in the New World

IDEAS 2022 takes place from November 28 - 30, 2022 at UFABC campus in Santo André, Brazil. IDEAS 2022 is part of a longstanding collaboration between Linköping University in Sweden and Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC) in Brazil.

Brazil: More than samba dancing

Brazil is more than samba dancing, football and sun-drenched beaches – and it’s more than rain forests and a controversial president. It’s also a country with important research and many talented scientists. Just ask Petter Krus.
