Experimental aerodynamics
Fluid dynamics
Data analysis
The goal of this thesis is to quantify how ice builds up and sheds from propellers up to 300 mm in length under varying environmental conditions and to translate these findings into a predictive icing model
Job Summary
The goal of this thesis is to quantify how ice builds up and sheds from propellers up to 300 mm in length under varying environmental conditions and to translate these findings into a predictive icing model.
You will conduct extensive experiments in our icing wind tunnel (IWT) facility and record ice accretion using high-speed imaging or load cells to measure performance degradation.
During your master thesis you will be guided by experienced Airbus researchers and gain invaluable industry exposure at the forefront of aerospace innovation.
