PhD in Future Aircraft Architectures and Electrified Propulsion Design at ISAE-SUPAERO ISAE-SUPAERO in France

ISAE-SUPAERO is advertising a PhD opportunity focused on the design of future aircraft architectures and the assessment of electrified propulsion configurations in realistic flight scenarios.

The thesis aims to improve methods and tools for preliminary aircraft design, reduce uncertainties about the potential of electrified propulsion, and support the sizing of both propulsive and non-propulsive aircraft systems closer to operational needs.

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in aerospace engineering, aircraft design, systems engineering, multidisciplinary analysis and optimization, and computational methods for aircraft conceptual/preliminary design.

The work will use the OAD tools developed at ISAE-SUPAERO (FAST-OAD), so Python skills are expected. The post also asks for a candidate with a Bac + 5 / Master of Science or equivalent and previous research experience.

The announcer is Florent Lutz, Associate professor at ISAE-SUPAERO. Interested applicants should consult the linked thesis announcement for full details and contact the poster for further information or to apply.
