Airbus Espana (Madrid, Spain) through Aeroconseil Iberica
- R&D Engineer in Aerodynamics
2005 - 2007Projects I worked on:
• NEFA (New Empennage For Aircraft) R&D program:
------------------------------------------------
Investigation of the longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic characteristics of an Airbus “V-Tail” tailplane under various flight conditions (low-speed and high-speed, take-off, cruise and landing) and aircraft configurations (slats/flaps extended or retracted, symmetrical/asymmetrical/anti-symmetrical elevator deflections).
- To define an aerodynamic model of the main force and moment coefficients, taking into account the aerodynamic phenomena such as downwash and dynamic pressure loss.
- To compare the efficiencies of the V-tail with the conventional HTP/VTP concept.
- General aerodynamic modelling (stalling angle, non-linearity, etc.) and analysis of the left and right tail interaction as a function of various elevator angle configurations.
• REFUTA R&D program:
---------------------
Tail pressure coefficient analysis and aerodynamic load distribution according to different wing load distributions, taking into account the downwash effect. Pressure corrections and investigation of the distribution due to different wing planforms.
Frequent use of Fortran and Matlab. Code interface improvement.
2003 - 2005Project with Airbus UK in Filton (Bristol):
-------------------------------------------
• Calculation and analysis of aerodynamic loads on the Airbus A320 and A380 slats and droop noses for several flight configurations (slats extended/retracted, fatigue missions, jamming, etc). Comparisons with previous wind tunnel campaigns.
Project with BAE Systems:
-------------------------
• Performance prediction (aerodynamic loads, dynamic behaviour) of the Eurofighter Typhoon towed decoy for different flight cases involving complex manoeuvres. Optimisation investigation of the results analysis.
Responsibility for the validity and coherency of the data delivered to the customer. Flexible approach to changing situations. Frequent use of Matlab and its GUI (Graphical User Interface).
2003 - 2003MSc Thesis (validated as Final year engineering internship):
------------------------------------------------------------
Aerodynamic investigation of the “Mini Observer” UAV using an economical and fast CFD solver.
- Modification of the 3-D geometry model of the UAV in order to adapt it to the mesh generation (Catia)
- Grid generation with some grid independence studies (Gridgen), using some unstructured meshing with tetrahedrons.
- Computation of the model (Fluent) and post-processing (Fieldview).
- Flow visualisation, aerodynamic coefficients calculation and comparison with the wind tunnel tests.
Ability to work creatively, independently and under pressure. Project with Cranfield Aerospace Ltd and QinetiQ.
