  • Title of project: FLIGHT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL
  • Funding agency (Optional):
  • Description: Projects consider developing mission capability of novel aircraft through optimal design and maturation of technologies that may include aeroservoelastic effects, biologically-inspired control effectors, sensor-centric path planning, time-varying adaptive structures, and operating environments ranging from underwater to high-altitude hypersonic. Tasks may include computational modeling, interpreting modes of flight dynamics, analyzing aeroelastic effects, parametrizing design spaces, synthesizing autopilots, trajectory generation, and experimental testing in both wind tunnels and flight fields.
  • Restrictions/Constraints:
  • Knowledge and skills needed: The candidate should have a strong academic background. Analytical skills and strong background in mechanics is expected. Background in FE is desired.
  • How to apply: Indicate interest on MAE application and send CV along with career interests to Dr. Lind
