In order to support flight dynamics, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a

Master Thesis within Development of Flight Control Algorithms for the Lateral Motion of the ADMIRE model (d/f/m)

You are looking for a master thesis? Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in the Flight Dynamics department as a Masters student (d/f/m)!

• Location: Manching
• Start: As soon as possible
• Duration: 6 Months
  
  

The department offers an opportunity for a master thesis on design of control laws of a generic high-performance aircraft. The goal of the overall project is to have a capable flight control model for an agile aircraft, which can be used for future research and technology developments. While the pitch control laws are already being designed, the scope of this master thesis is the lateral-directional control. The description of the aircraft, i.e. the aerodynamic and flight- dynamics model already exist in a Matlab-Simulink environment and it is based on a publicly available research model with a flight envelope up to low supersonic Mach numbers.

Your location

Located about an hour’s drive north of Munich, Manching is an up-and-coming market town that offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Here, you can enjoy the quality of life in the countryside while the pleasures of near-by cities are still within easy reach.

Your benefits

• Attractive salary and work-life balance with an 35-hour week (flexitime).
• Mobile working after agreement with the department.
• International environment with the opportunity to network globally.
• Work with modern/diversified technologies.
• At Airbus, we see you as a valuable team member and you are not hired to brew coffee, instead you are in close contact with the interfaces and are part of our weekly team meetings.
• Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.
  
  

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Familiarization with the existing aircraft model and the simulation environment.
• Analysis of the expected handling qualities for the aircraft.
• Design of the lateral-directional control laws.
• Demonstration of the flight control laws in simulation.
• Master thesis documentation.
  
  

Desired Skills And Qualifications

• Enrolled student in Aerospace Engineering, Control System Engineering,
• or similar field of study.
• Knowledge on flight dynamics and control law design.
• MATLAB/Simulink: Experienced.
• FORTRAN or C/C++: Basic knowledge.
• LINUX: Basic knowledge.
  
  

Please upload the following documents: cover letter, CV, relevant transcripts, enrollment certificate.
