Missions
About Airbus & Our Mission in Aircraft PerformanceAt Airbus, we are pioneers in sustainable aerospace, and our commitment to innovation drives us to connect, protect, and unite the world. Within this ambitious vision, Aircraft Performance stands as the beating heart of our aeronautical industry. It's where engineering excellence meets operational reality, directly influencing an airline's investment choices and enabling seamless, safe, and efficient daily flight operations.
From the initial conceptual design to the very end of an aircraft's life cycle, performance is paramount. Our mission is clear: to design, certify, evaluate, and continuously enhance aircraft performance, solidifying Airbus's position as the world leader in commercial aircraft manufacturing.
The VIE Opportunity: Fuel Your Career in Aerospace
Are you an ambitious and passionate engineering student, recent graduate or early career professional seeking a unique international experience? This 12-month VIE mission offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the dynamic world of Aircraft Performance at Airbus Commercial in Getafe, Spain.
This program is designed to be a springboard for your career, providing you with fundamental knowledge and practical experience across critical areas of aircraft performance. You will be an integral part of our transnational team, contributing to cutting-edge aircraft development and innovation.
Your Mission: Shaping the Future of Flight
While the exact projects will be tailored to your development and the evolving needs of our teams, this VIE mission is strategically designed to provide a balanced exposure across two core transnational sub-domains of Aircraft Performance:
Low Speed Performance and Certification: Dive into the complexities of aircraft behavior during critical phases like take-off and landing. You'll contribute to elaborating performance models, assessing compliance with airworthiness regulations, and ensuring the safety of our aircraft.
High Speed Performance and On-board Applications: Explore the intricacies of cruise performance, fuel efficiency, and the development of advanced on-board functions that empower pilots and optimize operations.
Across both sub-domains, you will contribute to activities such as:
Elaborating and refining Low and High Speed aircraft performance models, including those for on-board applications and third-party integration.
Assessing and optimizing overall aircraft performance throughout its entire lifecycle.
Demonstrating safety through rigorous certification processes and justification of compliance with airworthiness regulations.
Developing and providing tools that enable operators to achieve economically and environmentally optimized safe aircraft operations.
This role places you at the crossroads of diverse disciplines—aerodynamics, propulsion, certification, ground modeling, operations, and more. You will gain a holistic view of the aircraft, and will understand that safety remains our utmost priority. Our working environment is truly unique, offering dynamic activities and challenges that directly impact the design of numerous aircraft sub-systems.
What We Offer You
During your VIE, you will be fully integrated into our teams. You will have dedicated time to understand the context of your studies and receive comprehensive training from our experienced aircraft performance specialists. We believe in empowering our team members: once ready, you will be encouraged to unleash your potential, propose analyses, solutions, and syntheses to our community, acting proactively and autonomously, yet always supported and guided by a dedicated mentor.
You will experience firsthand our strong transnational team spirit, characterized by a friendly, collaborative, and welcoming mindset. We foster an environment of continuous learning, shared responsibilities, and a healthy work-life balance
