Ihre Aufgaben

In order to assure safe operations of an aircraft, it is important to focus the clearance activities not only on maneuvering during the mission segment but to cover the terminal flight phases, i.e. take-off and landing, as well. Especially the transition from air to ground can be a challenging task for the pilot e.g. if strong crosswinds act on the aircraft. This is why the clearance activities usually incorporate manned landing simulations under most adverse conditions. Manned simulation obviously can only take place in real-time, has a notable overhead for preparation, and the availability of slots for such sessions is rather limited. Hence, having a good understanding of the question, which configurations or conditions are most critical, is decisive.

The advertised work is intended to contribute to that understanding by enabling a more extensive pre-assessment of configurations and conditions based on offline simulation ahead of manned simulation via the implementation of an automatic takeoff and landing controller for the existing simulation model of a fighter aircraft. The development model will be in MATLAB/Simulink but the suggested controller algorithm shall allow for code generation in order to be able to deploy it to the operational model.

Your Tasks

• Derivation and tuning of a parametric representation of the takeoff and landing maneuver

• Design of an automatic takeoff and landing controller

• Design of an on ground control

• Evaluation of the performance of the implemented controller

• Documentation of results and lessons learnt

  Your Profile

• Enrolled full time student (d/f/m) in aerospace engineering, control system engineering or similar field of study

• Theoretical knowledge on flight dynamics and control laws design

• MATLAB/Simulink: Experienced

• FORTRAN or C/C++: Basic knowledge

• LINUX: Basic knowledge

Ihr Profil

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.
