Your mission
Simulate and evaluate mission scenarios using flight mechanics and performance models.
Assess aircraft performance, efficiency, and operational limits across the flight envelope
Analyze flight test and simulation data to evaluate aircraft behavior, energy consumption, and mission KPIs
Support the development of mission planning tools and flight envelope visualization
Interpret results from flight dynamics models (e.g., FlightLab, MATLAB) to extract actionable insights
Track and manage aircraft mass properties using a structured weight breakdown, including weight maturity (Estimated / Calculated / Actual) and center of gravity calculations.
Identify and provide relevant performance and dynamics data to support FCS and autopilot functions, including:
Performance limits and operational boundaries
Mass properties and aircraft configurations
Aerodynamic and stability-related characteristics
Ensure consistency between flight physics models, mission analysis, and control system needs
Support simulation-in-the-loop (SIL) and integrated validation activities
Contribute to trajectory optimization and contingency scenario definition
Document assumptions, analyses, and recommendations for system and mission improvements
