Inholland Applied Sciences Labs Delft Fall 2022 internships
We are currently recruiting for a new round for internships and graduation projects starting in September 2022, which are listed below. If are interested in joining the Inholland Applied Sciences Labs in Delft for a research project, please sign up to attend the Applied Sciences Lab Job Fair on Tuesday June 28th.
Instructions are at the bottom of this page. Please ensure to sign up before June 24th 2021.
Future of zero emission flight
To reach climate goals, the European unit set goals to transition aviation into zero emission propulsion. This transition has a significant impact on developments within the aviation industry. Most assignments are related to support a future of zero emission flight and are part of our research project, Project DragonFly (http://projectdragonfly.nl). Other assignments contribute to sustainability or other advancements within Aerospace.
Project Dragonfly
Project DragonFly is gaining momentum in its sustainable aviation developments: Electric Propulsion. The aim is to complete the conversion to electric propulsion within 2022 together with our partners.

FlightSimDelft
For decades flight simulation has been part of the Aeronautical Engineering program within the University of Applied Sciences of Inholland. In the last half year a team of students has successfully developed a simulator of the Pipistrel Velis Electro for the first Dutch flight school E-flight academy. Using motion base and VR technology the simulator provides for a very realistic flight experience at a fraction of the cost of conventual certified flight simulators. Flight Sim Delft aims to continue to make improvement to this advanced flight sim.
