At the Institute of Electrified Aero Engines, we are focusing our research on future low-emission aviation propulsion systems mainly dedicated to civil aviation and developing new technologies to reduce climate-damaging greenhouse gases. The scientific issues are geared towards the propulsion topologies required for the next generation of aircraft.
The Institute of Electrified Aero Engines was founded in the middle of the year 2020 in Cottbus and focusses its research with currently 90 staff members, of which 50 are scientists, on the investigation of lower-emission, more climate-friendly and quieter aero engines mainly dedicated to commercial aviation.
The Institute is scientifically oriented towards more extensively electrified, respectively hybrid electric or all-electric aircraft engines. It follows a holistic approach including component technologies, system architecture and integration as well as aeronautical requirements, the control of propulsion systems, their environmental impact, and suitable sensor technology.
What specialities are we looking for?
Aerospace engineering
Electrical engineering
Power engineering
Mechanical engineering
Computer science
Mathematics
Physical engineering
Industrial engineering
Management assistance for office management, office communication
Measurement and control engineering
Mechatronics
Software engineering
In the upcoming years, it will erect large test facilities and infrastructure to validate theoretical models of the novel technologies, realistically evaluate uncertainties, support industrial partners in their developments, and accelerate hardware certification. The Hybrid Electric Propulsion Cottbus (HepCo) facilities are part of a cooperative test bench landscape in the Lusatian region, substantially contributing to the anticipated structural change. Overall, the Institute closes gaps in the portfolio of the German aviation propulsion research.
Become part of an open-minded, inquisitive team and analyse and solve future-oriented scientific problems with a focus on alternative electrified aero engines.
