Project Description


Project description:

Project description:
Hydrogen as an alternative energy source for commercial aircraft holds promise for helping the aviation industry meet its climate goals. The shift in energy source and storage introduces a new design space for structural design and system integration. The Dry Wing Technology Exploration (DWiTE) project aims to explore this new design space by considering various disciplines—such as aerodynamics, structures, control, and systems—to assess the overall benefits at the aircraft level. The focus of TUM's work within this project is on developing new wing concepts that leverage active load control and evaluating their impact on the entire aircraft.

Tasks:
The student will engage in tasks within the aeroelastic domain, including modeling the aeroelastic behavior of dry wing concepts and performing static aeroelastic analyses to assess how aerodynamic forces affect wing structures. They will also work on developing surrogate models to incorporate aeroelastic results into the overall aircraft design. Specific tasks can be tailored and defined in collaboration with the student, allowing flexibility to adapt to their skills and interests as the project progresses.

Working hours per week planned:

40
