Navarajah Subramaniam

Navarajah Subramaniam serves as a Research Fellow at the Institute for Rotorcraft and Vertical Flight, Technical University of Munich (TUM), where he contributes to advanced rotorcraft research and education in vertical flight technologies.

His research focuses on:

• Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis and Simulation
• VTOL Aircraft Design and Sizing
• Helicopter Flight Dynamics, Stability, and Control
• Rotorcraft Systems and Components Engineering
• Aircraft Safety and Certification

Dr. Subramaniam actively participates in ongoing research projects including ENGEL (Energy Efficient Flight Guidance), VARI-SPEED II, ARCTIS, LaBouR, VaMEx, NANNY, and HyDDEn, addressing challenges in energy efficiency, high-speed flight, and novel rotorcraft configurations. He teaches courses spanning Rotorcraft and VTOL Design Basics, Engineering Mechanics III, Helicopter Flight Dynamics, Safety and Certification of Aircraft, and specialized labs including VTOL Sizing and Design.

The institute's facilities—Whirl Tower, Flight Simulator Facilities, Unmanned Rotorcraft Testbed (AREA), and GPU/CPU clusters—support his experimental and computational work. Contact is available via navarajah.subramaniam@tum.de.
