AIRBUS-UPM European Industrial Doctorate in mathematical methods applied to aircraft design

Objective

This proposal aims to consolidate the existing Ph.D. programme between the Universidad Politécnica de
Madrid and Airbus industry and to foster aeronautics RTD work in Europe, building on merits and achievements of
previous and existing initiatives in the field. The proposal follows the ACARE Vision-2020 and Flightpath-2050
future strategies, by contributing to “more affordable, safer, cleaner, quieter”, hence greener aircraft. In particular
in the development of mathematical methods for aircraft design, and in particular in progressing in the field of
computational fluid dynamics (CFD), nowadays applied extensively in all aerodynamic-based topics of aircraft
design. The proposal supports the European research policy and contributes to improving the competitiveness of
the European aeronautics industry. This will be achieved by a close collaboration between the industry and
academia directing the proposed work to ensure a focus on European industrial doctorate development. By means
of improved scientific capabilities and prediction tools with a high Technology Readiness Level, AIRUP will foster
cooperation industry-academia and strengthen the human potential in research in Europe allowing for enhanced
design processes by mitigating existing efficiency, reliability and accuracy problems in the field of numerical
simulation and aerodynamic. Consequently, this will result in fewer design cycles, lower costs and reduced time-to market
of challenging future aircraft designs.
