Antonino Filippone

Prof. Antonino Filippone holds the Chair in Computational Aerodynamics at The University of Manchester's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. His research focuses on rotor systems aerodynamics, aircraft noise, propulsion systems, and environmental emissions modeling. He leads a team developing high-fidelity computational methods for applications like engine intake protection systems and eVTOL vehicles. Prof. Filippone is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and author of three textbooks on flight performance.

• Expertise: Gas turbine aerothermodynamics, acoustic noise reduction, and multidisciplinary simulation
• Research Groups: Aerospace Software Development, Environmental Emissions Modeling

He has received notable awards including the RAeS Written Paper Prize (Bronze 2012, Silver 2021) and the Royal Aeronautical Society Written Paper Award (2018). Current research includes advanced vertical lift vehicles and integration of navigation systems with emission models.

Supervises PhD projects in areas like rotorcraft aerodynamics, engine intake protection systems, and eVTOL noise reduction. Active in editorial roles for Aerospace Science & Technology and RAeS Aeronautical Journal.
