Institute for Aerospace Technology (IAT)
Aerospace Technology Institure (IAT)The Institute for Aerospace Technology (IAT) is a major centre for aerospace research
Specialists from global aerospace companies and aviation leaders have joined forces with our researchers and academics across our three campuses in Malaysia, UK and China. Together, we are creating an extraordinary future for aerospace technology.
We at IAT share Malaysia’s ambition to be the leading aerospace nation in South East Asia by 2030, and to become an integral part of the global market. We are working closely with the Aerospace Malaysia Innovation Centre (AMIC) under the National Aerospace Industry Coordinating Office (NAICO), Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and we share a laboratory centre located in German Malaysia Institute (GMI), Kajang.
Our ambition and drive makes the Institute of Aerospace Technology (IAT) a partner of choice for addressing two key research goals, closely aligned to AMIC:
-
Factory of the future Improving the manufacturing capability of aerospace industry
-
Sustainable aviation Finding novel solutions for sustainable development such as bio-jet fuels and use of recycled materials
