Why this programme?
This study program is tailored for individuals with a keen interest in aircraft mechanics, aircraft construction, engines, mechanical systems, aerodynamics, UAVs, or satellites, who aspire to pursue a career in the aviation or aerospace industry.
We view innovation in aeronautics as an interdisciplinary endeavor. Your expertise in electronics, mechanics, IT, transportation, aeronautics, or any other engineering discipline will enhance your team's capabilities and provide a competitive edge.
The objective of this study program is to equip participants with highly specialized knowledge in aeronautical engineering. Graduates will possess interdisciplinary skills, enabling them to independently tackle tasks related to aircraft construction and engine engineering. They will have the ability to engineer, draft, model, and develop new aircraft projects. Furthermore, our graduates can apply their acquired knowledge in the operations of aviation companies, utilizing cutting-edge technologies across diverse work environments. They can analyze and creatively address technical, administrative, and legal challenges inherent in aircraft development, production, and operation—a global concern. Graduates will also be adept at assessing the impact and significance of decisions made by engineering professionals in shaping societal development.

Student projects at AGAI
Students at AGAI are encouraged to get involved in various practical projects. Currently, they are participating in workshops with lecturers to revive some of our old aircraft for new life to be used for study and training purposes as models and educational material.
See our progress here.
Another great example of a multidisciplinary project completed in joint efforts with lecturers and students at AGAI is a smart UAV for aerial mapping and video monitoring. It joins knowledge and skills of aerodynamics, electronics and aircraft operations to make sure that the UAV does exactly what it is designed to do.
See our results here.
To mark a 100 year anniversary, the Antanas Gustaitis Aviation Institute of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH AGAI) flew their unmanned aircraft over Lithuania and covered a distance of 397 km.
The purpose of the flight over Lithuania was to test the system of the new VILNIUS TECH AGAI unmanned aircraft, to test the communication and communication systems under real conditions and to gain experience in the operation of unmanned aircraft for long distances.
