Your contribution:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding new promising future aircraft configurations for Urban Air Mobility applications requires a profound understanding of the interactions of the disciplines and technologies on aircraft design, operations, and control. To develop new technologies and systems, a high level of creativity and modeling capability is required. Therefore, you must have at least an MSc. degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering well above average and experience in designing, modeling, and assessing novel aircraft technologies. Fundamental knowledge of the key disciplines in aerospace engineering and especially in aircraft design, operations or flight control is required. Ability to work and collaborate with different groups of people with diverse and cultural background, having excellent communication skills in both written and verbal in English is crucial to publish scientific papers. With these prerequisites and your interest in exploring the design space for future concepts, you will join our research team and contribute to the projects and design frameworks in this field.<\/span><\/p>\n
