AGGP2026 - Flight Physics Graduate

Overview

You will be on a development pathway to guide your growth into the role of Flight Physics Graduate and can expect to be involved in the following:

• Flight Physics is responsible for the overall aircraft design activities across all the stages of aircraft development, from pre-design work to in-service support.
• We are also heavily involved in the definition of the next generation A/C with our future project colleagues.
• Flight Physics UK is made up of 4 different departments (Aerodynamics, Loads and Aeroelastics, Mass Properties and Flight Physics Capabilities) all use a wide range of skills and tools to complete their tasks from CAD for design to different coding languages to work on new tools or processes including automation and machine learning.
• The placements will be varied and require you to use different skills (technical, project management, communication etc.) in order to complete them successfully.
• By the end of the programme, our aim is that you are ready to progress, having already demonstrated your value. You will have developed your skills in an area that is strategically important for Airbus, you will know about the Airbus business, the opportunities, challenges and needs, and you will have learned more about yourself, and what makes you great.
