Aero CFD Intern: Wing Damage & Flight Dynamics

TNO; Den Haag; On-site; EUR 5,800 - 7,900; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

615 EUR monthly internship allowance

Job summary

TNO offers an internship in the Platform Protection & Advanced Materials (PPAM) department. You will investigate how wing damage and control-surface damage affect aerodynamic performance, including lift, drag, and stability, using CFD and potentially wind tunnel data.

Collaboration with colleagues is encouraged while you pursue your Master’s degree. The role suits students in Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or related fields with an interest in aerodynamics and numerical simulations.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field.
