Flexible Aircraft Dynamics and Control

The flexibility of aircraft structures plays a crucial role in the design of high-altitude, highly efficient, and long-endurance vehicles. For such configurations, the traditional assumption of a fully rigid airframe is no longer valid. This structural flexibility directly impacts flight dynamics, stability, and control design.

The internship offers the opportunity to contribute to an active research area at the intersection of aerodynamics, structures, and control, with potential applications in next-generation UAVs and high-altitude, long-endurance platforms.
