After a 6 months internship at XSun (France), the student Andri Dine has concluded a M.Sc. thesis aimed at evaluating the capabilities of a low fidelity aeroelastic tool in defining the aero-structrual behaviour of box-wing aircraft since the early stages of the design. Reference: Dine, A., “Studio aeroelastico di velivoli con architettura box-wing mediante un […]

Internship and thesis opportunity at AURA AERO company (Toulouse, France)
In the development of electric A/C, the integration of systems and batteries imply new challenges in the fields of Loads and Flutter assessment. The main activities are focused on loads and flutter assessment of electric A/C. The objective of the internship is to contribute to the development of a toolbox for computational aeroelasticity in an […]
A new paper published in Applied Sciences (MDPI): “A Conceptual Design Methodology for e-VTOL Aircraft for Urban Air Mobility” (Open Access)
Recent progress of electric systems has raised attention towards hybrid-electric and full-electric aircraft. Nevertheless, the current low battery energy density limits the application of these propulsive architectures to large transport aircraft. In the context of the general aviation category, full-electric aircraft for the so-called Urban Air Mobility scenario are gaining increasing interest. These air taxis, […]
