Aeronautical Engineering at USP de São Carlos began in 1973 with the formation of a working group for the design and construction of a light aircraft for basic instruction, with the name IPAI-26 - TUCA. Part of this group originated in 1978 the Laboratory of Aircraft, LAE, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the School of Engineering of São Carlos. LAE's objective was to support the Emphasis on Aircraft, of the Mechanical Engineering course as, develop research and provide services in this area. More than 200 mechanical engineers with aeronautical specifications graduated, working in areas such as aircraft maintenance in airlines, management of aeronautical activities in public agencies such as Infraero and the design of aerospace or aeronautical vehicles in companies such as EMBRAER. 

With the creation of the Aeronautical Engineering course at USP in 2002, and the consequent expansion of the lines of research, the NPA, Nucleus for Aeronautical Research, was formed. The nucleus has its own facilities that include a secretary, library, laboratories with the latest equipment. It also has a complete aircraft and wind tunnels, including a closed circuit tunnel with a section of 2 m2 and a speed of 50m / s. The new facilities of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering on Campus II of USP / São Carlos, completed in 2004, comprise an area of ​​8000 m2. 

The Department of Aeronautical Engineering enjoys high recognition in the national and international aeronautical engineering community. In addition to offering the aeronautical content disciplines of the Aeronautical Engineering course, the nucleus offers master's and doctoral degrees from the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at EESC / USP. The NPA still assists the national aviation industry, through the development of research in partnership with companies, in particular, with EMBRAER and others. To learn more have a look here: https://youtu.be/S8bCVL8NHtY
