What you will do:
- Develop a Computerized Aircraft Performance Program that will serve as the reference for any aircraft performance calculation and eventually, as approved performance data for the certified aircraft.
- Develop tools & processes for performance data reduction & expansion and optimization of flight mission planning for safe operations of an autonomous aircraft.
- Develop, modify, and run in-house tools, including 6DoF simulation models, to analyze aircraft flight performance during take off, hover, transition, climb, cruise, descent and landing.
- Estimate critical performance parameters, such as stall speeds, best rate of climb, climb ceiling, maximum range, noise profiles and energy reserves.
- Support the integration of the Computerized Aircraft Performance Program within the aircraft onboard systems framework and within the offboard flight operations and planning tools.
- Support the Propulsion group in the definition of the electric motor ratings.
- Plan and participate in the flight test campaigns to analyze performance data to support certification, including test scope planning, instrumentation requirements, flight test support and data reduction for the performance models creation and data matching.
- Author and review certification documents to show compliance with FAA/EASA certification requirements related to Aircraft Performance.
Requirements:
- B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, or another relevant discipline
- 12+ years of experience doing detailed Performance analysis on fixed wing aircraft and/or rotorcraft, or similar relevant experience
- Gained strong knowledge of performance methodologies and associated software development for performance data reduction & expansion tools
- Developed performance data for inclusion in Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM), Flight Planning and Cruise Control Manual (FPCCM), etc.
- Developed test plans based on an understanding of the certification requirements and associated means of compliance for fixed wing aircraft and/or rotorcraft
- Excellent understanding of key concepts and equations for aircraft performance analysis
- Experience with simulation and flight testing for aircraft performance
- Experienced with scripting languages and Simulation tools (e.g. Python, MATLAB)
- Previous experience with the various phases of an aircraft development program, from conceptual design through certification and in-service support.
