    What you will be doing

    Flight Physics is responsible for the overall aircraft design activities across all the stages of aircraft development, from pre-design work to in-service support. There are four departments covering a wide range of activities: Aerodynamics, Loads & Aeroelastics, Mass Properties and Flight Physics Capability. The majority of Flight Physics activities are focused on aircraft programmes such as the A350XWB, A320neo and future aircraft research programmes, but there is also significant focus on R&T, capability/tool development and data science, as a result work activities are varied and interesting.

    Over the 2 year and 4 month scheme there will be placements in various departments to build on core skills, develop project management and leadership skills, and experience transnational working. There is also additional tool and soft skill training, and opportunities to work on STEM projects aimed at inspiring the engineers of the future.

    Flight Physics is an exciting department to work for in a number of ways

    • We get involved in the overall aircraft design before it gets broken into individual components for detailed analysis. This means we get to build a fundamental understanding of the impact top level inputs have on the aircraft design.
    • We get a chance to work on challenging technical problems as well as project management and interfacing with customers and suppliers.
    • Each team works on a number of different programmes from current developments to future aircraft and R&T, so you get to experience a diverse range of activities and work.
    • Our teams are distributed across sites in France, Germany, India, Spain and the UK bringing a wide variety of cultures
