Riccobene Luca

He earned his MSc and PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano. He worked as a post-doctoral research fellow in the fields of aircraft conceptual design, morphing technologies, and experimental aeroelasticity.

Since 2018, he has been a senior wind tunnel test engineer at the Aerodynamic Laboratory, where he supervises student laboratory classes and supports experimental research activities related to MSc and PhD theses in the department’s wind tunnels. He is also involved in research and industrial test campaigns carried out both in the departmental wind tunnels and in the Polimi large wind tunnel (GVPM).

Aerodynamics Experimental Laboratory

The Aerodynamics Experimental Laboratory of Politecnico di Milano is a reference infrastructure for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic experimentation, supporting both scientific research and industrial development.

Laboratory activities include experimental testing of models and components, force and pressure measurements, advanced flow diagnostics (PIV, anemometry, and optical techniques), and aeroacoustic analysis. These activities support applications in aeronautical, industrial, and sports engineering, both within the department’s facilities and in the Large Wind Tunnel of Politecnico di Milano (GVPM).

The laboratory participates in several European research projects on fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, in collaboration with leading research institutes, as well as international universities.
