  • Strukturierte Literaturrecherche zu aktuellen Technologien und Entwicklungen von Head-Up Displays

    2025/08/05

    Bachelorthesis

    Im Rahmen des aktuellen Forschungsschwerpunkts des FSR wird die Machbarkeit zukünftiger Flugdecks mit einer reduzierten Besatzung untersucht. Dazu gehören auch Veränderungen im Design und in der Funktionalität der Cockpits. Moderne Cockpits sollen den Piloten nicht nur situationsabhängig unterstützen, sondern auch in jeder Flugphase zur Reduktion der Arbeitsbelastung beitragen. Hierbei wird auf die Benutzung von modernen und integrierten Lösungen zurückgegriffen, wobei die Analyse und Optimierung von bestehenden Systemen und Trends eine wichtige Grundlage für die zukünftige Entwicklung bildet

  • From Requirements to Compliance: A Methodological Framework for Flight Deck System Certification

    2025/08/05

    Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis

    Advances in avionics technology require a reevaluation of existing certification and regulatory requirements. Understanding applicable requirements is critical for ensuring system compliance, safety, and operational approval. However, the complexity and fragmentation of existing standards present major challenges during development. To support future systems, a structured approach to analyzing and mapping relevant regulations is needed.

  • Integration of Air Traffic Simulation into a Flight Simulator with a Focus on Human-Centered Visualization Concepts

    2025/08/05

    Masterthesis

    In the context of developing a new flight simulation environment, the integration of realistic and dynamic air traffic is essential to enable credible and operationally relevant scenarios. To support situational awareness and decision-making, this traffic must not only be technically simulated but also presented in a way that is intuitive and cognitively appropriate for human users. Therefore, the design of human-centered visualization concepts plays a critical role. The simulation environment should support various use cases, including training and evaluation, where clear and meaningful traffic displays are required. A modular and adaptable traffic simulation framework will form the technical foundation for this work.

For many of the work carried out by us there is no prefabricated task but we assign them individually: After your inquiry we can find a task in a personal conversation that fits your interests. Contact us – contact information of the respective contact persons can be found on the pages about our research fields .

In individual cases we also supervise bachelor and master theses in cooperation with our partners from industry. Prerequisites for the performance of such work can be found in this summary (opens in new tab) . If you are planning an external thesis please contact us with sufficient lead time so that we can review your request.

ADPs/ ARPs are usually carried out in a team of 4 to 8 students and with a task set in cooperation with one of our partners from industry. You can contact us as a team or as an individual in response to our calls for proposals presented above. Contact information can be found in the respective calls for proposals.
