Description of the job

Are you looking for an internship? Would you like to discover the work of an engineer? Then apply now! We look forward to you joining us as an intern (m/f) at the Engineering department (35 hours/week, flexi-time).

Location: Hamburg
Start: 01.01.2017
Duration: 3 month
Afterwards there is the possibility for writing a final Thesis.

The internship is placed within the Engineering / Flight Physics / Loads & Aeroelastics domain. The loads department prepares and validates mechanical and aeroelastic mathematical simulation models for subsequent overall aircraft loads calculation and analysis. The calculation of aircraft loads is the primary step in translating non-specific design data (aerodynamics, mass, structure, controls laws) into specific design data i.e. loads for airframe design and certification. The work is related to manoeuvre and gust loads acting on aircraft in operation.
