Exchange Program with the University of Colorado Boulder

In cooperation with our partner Jeppesen we offer students from the department of mechanical engineering with focus on aviation the opportunity to go abroad. Included are two trimesters at the University of Colorado at Boulder as well as an internship with Jeppesen in Denver. Applications must be due by November 30th, 2017, and should be sent to the MechCenter. A general information session on international exchange programs offered by the department of engineering will be held on October 25th, at 18.00 in L4|02-201. Additionally we offer a specific information session on the Boulder exchange program on Friday, November 10h, at 15.00 in L1|01-562K.

Tutorium Cockpitgestaltung

Das im Wintersemester 2016/17 neu eingeführte Tutorium Cockpitgestaltung wird auch dieses Jahr wieder am Institut für Flugsysteme und Regelungstechnik angeboten.

Im kommenden Wintersemester 2018/19 findet wieder die Lehrveranstaltung „Systemtheorie und Regelungstechnik“ für alle Bachelor-Studenten/innen im fünften Semester des Studien- gangs „Mechanical and Process Engineering“ statt. Hierfür werden Tutoren/innen gesucht, die den Übungsbetrieb unterstützen und aktiv mitgestalten sollen.

TU Darmstadt offers an international summer school for American and Australian students titled „German Engineering“ in June 2018. As part of this summer course, the Institute of Flight Systems and Automatic Control (FSR) will offer a course on flight mechanics. Over two days, students will learn the basic concepts of flight mechanics, flight dynamics and flight performance assessments. To support this course, FSR is now offering a student job.

Future air traffic will shift to trajectory based operations, where flight plans are tied to specific temporal constraints. At FSR an algorithm was developed that optimizes the altitude and speed profile of a flight with respect to weather and mentioned temporal constraints. The algorithm is designed to support the flight execution. The algorithm will be evaluated by simulating flights on many different times. The applicant will support the automated data processing and visualization of the results.

Institute of Flight Systems and Automatic Control

The Institute currently has an open PhD position in a project about a holistic airline operations optimization tool funded by a German research program.

Für interne Verwaltungsprozesse im Bereich der Inventarverwaltung werden am Institut für Flugsysteme und Regelungstechnik Listen in Excel geführt. Der Prozess der Inventarverwaltung soll optimiert werden. Dabei müssen unterschiedliche Listen aggregiert und erweitert werden. Zur Automatisierung der zukünftigen Prozesse sind Skripte in Excel mittels Visual Basic für Applikationen (VBA) zu erstellen.

ARP in the Field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Um die sichere Integration unbemannter Flugzeuge (UAVs) in den Luftraum zu erleichtern, wird von den Luftfahrtbehörden eine missionsspezifische Risikobewertung (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) angestrebt. Dabei wird für jede Flugmission das individuelle Risiko basierend auf den Fähigkeiten des UAVs, der Beschaffenheit der Flugroute sowie weiteren Faktoren bestimmt.
