Second-year Master’s students from the Motor Vehicles Module at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, along with Bachelor students attending the course “Vehicle Performances”, had the opportunity to test the dynamic characteristics of the BMW 650i at the track of the National Driving Academy (NAVAK) in Subotište. The vehicle itself is a donation from BMW, the German automotive company based in Munich. The training session included test track preparation, installation of measurement equipment, and vehicle testing, with continuous monitoring of the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour. The collected data will serve as a valuable foundation for further analysis and simulations conducted by the students. These, now traditional, practical exercises provided students with an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the modern technologies integrated… опширније…

The student association Beoavia, based at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, is entering the new competition season with a series of ambitious projects. Among them, the development of the unmanned cargo aircraft “Svitac” stands out, designed for participation in the prestigious Air Cargo Challenge 2026. The aircraft’s primary mission will be the transport of cargo, specifically 0.33-liter cans. The Air Cargo Challenge is one of the most prominent student competitions in aerospace engineering, bringing together teams from universities around the world. The goal is to design, build, and test cargo aircraft capable of carrying the maximum payload while completing assigned missions in the shortest possible time, all within strict technical and operational constraints. The competition will take… опширније…

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade and the conventional software company KISSsoft AG have successfully renewed their collaboration, enabling students to gain direct access to one of the leading software tools for transmission system and gearbox design – KISSsoft®. For educational purposes, KISSsoft AG has granted the faculty 40 five-year licenses for the use of this software. These licenses are primarily intended for students enrolled in the “Design in Mechanical Engineering” module, within the course “High-speed Machine Design”, but the software is also available to other interested students and faculty members for use in their respective courses. KISSsoft AG developed KISSsoft® as a comprehensive tool for the calculation of individual machine elements, as well as complex subassemblies and systems,… опширније…

Serbia holds strong potential for the development of the aerospace industry. This was clearly demonstrated by second-year Master’s students from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Recently, they presented their final projects from the course “Aircraft Design” to a large audience. Through a range of innovative solutions – from agricultural aircraft and business jets to unmanned and sport aircraft – these young engineers proved they can play a key role in the modernisation of domestic aviation. During the winter semester, students worked in teams to develop various aircraft concepts, applying knowledge across all stages of the design process – from defining technical requirements, through aerodynamic and structural calculations, to engine selection and cost estimation. Each… опширније…
