Mission of aerodynamics:
Aerodynamics is responsible for the aerodynamic design and characterization for all military aircraft programs along their product life cycle. We use numerical simulations, wind tunnel testing and flight test to understand the aerodynamic behavior and to create and deliver aircraft representative aerodynamic data and models for stability & control, performance, loads and aeroelastics.

Your Mission:
Bridge the gap between aerodynamic theory and physical reality. As our Electrical Technician, you ensure the precision and reliability of our wind tunnel models and measurement systems, providing the essential hardware foundation for cutting‑edge aerospace testing.
