Vinu Vijayan

Leading a team of engineers engaged in projects in the aerospace (Flight Physics) industry. The projects focus majorly on the aircraft development sector, covering topics under flight Physics; aerodynamics, aeroelastics, structural loads, aircraft performance, in-service incidents, methods & tools developments and aircraft certification. Major scope of role: Project management, team lead, financial controlling & reporting, and technical focal point.

Projects aimed at new aircraft development. Aircraft's model-validation & structural performance analysis during the certification process. Responsible for clearing the aircraft during certification process according to requirements as per EASA. Major Projects: Airbus A350-1000 model development, Airbus new Beluga feasibility study, Airbus A320 Single Aisle NEO certification

The responsibilities involved steering the projects, as well as working as the technical focal point to the customer. Handled projects mainly in the area of Flight Physics, which aimed at the analysis of an aircraft’s performance. The main scope was to analyze the dynamic response of an aircraft in a close loop simulation, under the influence of turbulence, maneuver etc. The collective aim was aircraft airworthiness certification according to EASA/ FAA standards.

Junior business consultant as a part of a management program, that CDI conducts in association with the best firms in Europe. Current Assignment at Airbus, Germany. The assigment focuses on the 'Component loads and System Support ' department under Flight Physics at Airbus. It develops around three main axis, namely: Organizational Governance, Optimized Planning and Controlling, and development of an offshoring strategy.
