Introduction
We are looking for enthusiastic highly motivated researchers to join one of the leading European consortiums working in aircraft and propulsion electrification.
Background
This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of aircraft electrification and contribute to sustainable and zero emissions aviation. The research is part of a major European project, Futprint50, which focuses on the electrification of a 50 passenger aircraft. You will have the opportunity to work closely with world leading researchers and industrial engineers on the design, modelling, integration and analysis of hybrid electric systems and architectures. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team within the hybrid electric propulsion group at Cranfield and influence the future of the aerospace industry.
Develop and integrate technologies and systems for hybrid electric propulsion contributing to a sustainable and zero net emissions aerospace industry. This is a unique opportunity to be part of one of the major aircraft electrification research programmes worldwide with a total research budget in excess of 7.5 million Euros.
The project will focus on the development and integration of novel technologies for the introduction of a 50 passenger hybrid electric aircraft. You will be part of a world class team working on the electrification of aviation.
You will join a growing team within the hybrid electric propulsion group at Cranfield and you will have the opportunity to work closely with international world leading partners including aircraft manufacturers, system designers and researchers.
The programme is one of the major electrification research projects worldwide and you will have the opportunity to contribute to the future of the aerospace industry. The technologies that will be developed along with the resulting systems and architectures will have a major impact to meet future zero emissions aircraft operations
You will work closely with specialists and technology managers as part of this international consortium. You will have the opportunity to attend meetings in partners locations, attend training events, collaborate closely with other industrial institutions and major aerospace companies/organisations. As well as attend and present your research at international conferences.
The project is associated with the FUTPRINT50 Academy, and the student will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and interact with a dynamic European network of universities, research centres, and industry. Funding is also available for training, attending workshops and international conferences.
Contribute to the future of green aviation by developing new technologies and system architectures. Work at the forefront of research in aircraft electrification developing multidisciplinary research and technology skills. Join a world class team where you will develop your management, presentation, planning, communication and technical skills.
About the sponsor
Sponsored by EU and Cranfield University, this studentship will provide a bursary of up to £12,000 (tax free) plus fees for three years.
Entry Requirements
Applicants should have a first degree in electrical, mechanical, aerospace engineering or computing, maths or physicist or any other relevant topic. An MSc or relevant work experience would be beneficial. Knowledge of system integration and system modelling including Matlab, Simulink, Python, AMESIm for model base system engineering is desirable.
