To complement the new aerospace campus and further increase Centennial’s aerospace research capacity, the Landing Gear Innovation Laboratory (LGIL) was constructed and opened in 2020, bringing 6,500 ft² of additional, dedicated aerospace applied research space. Since 2017, Centennial’s aerospace applied research programme trained 219 paid student researchers and supervised 30 highly qualified personnel working on over 53 aerospace industry-led research projects that support the design, development, prototyping, testing, validation and commercialisation of emerging technologies in aerospace.
