CIFRE - PhD thesis - Dynamic control law for a loads protection function (m/f)

Overview

Toulouse, France. You will be part of a team developing all of our current and future commercial aircraft programmes. As part of the Loads Solutions Toulouse team, you will be involved in research activities aiming at optimising the interface between systems and structure to support multidisciplinary optimisation of the overall aircraft design.

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for a CIFRE PhD student on “Dynamic Control Law for a loads protection function” (f/m) to join our Loads & Aeroelasticity department based in Toulouse, France. You will be part of a team developing all of our current and future commercial aircraft programmes. As part of the Loads Solutions Toulouse team, you will be involved in research activities aiming at optimising the interface between systems and structure to support multidisciplinary optimisation of the overall aircraft design.

Responsibilities

Your challenges:

• New challenges for commercial aircraft are autonomy, and finding a new overall aircraft configuration to optimise the performance.
• In this context a high aspect ratio wing is a good candidate, but with strong challenges on its weight and the loads it has to withstand.
• The objective for this research PhD of 3 years is to work in Airbus in cooperation between the Loads & Aeroelasticity domain and the Flight Control Laws domain, supported by the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering school, to develop an automatic loads protection function.
• It will rely on a good observer of the loads plus recent automatic methodology to ensure appropriate response of the system for a robust and contained load level during extreme events (turbulence, manoeuvres).

Qualifications

Your boarding pass:

• A Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering or equivalent
• Strong background in automatic control theory
• Good knowledge of Aircraft Loads and Aeroelasticity
• Practice of: Matlab, Simulink, Python
• Advanced level in English
