Summer Internship at The Institute of Aviation
in Warsaw, Poland
Summary• Worked at an aviation research institute in
Warsaw, Poland• Worked alongside Polish PhD level
aeronautical engineers• Helped design the test rig for a boundary
layer ingestion (BLI) jet engine that aims to reduce aircraft fuel consumption by up to 10%
• Modeled the inlet distortion gauze so that the rig could simulate real-world conditions
• Performed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on the test environment in order to ensure safe and efficient testing conditions
• Hiked the Swiss Alps for 4 days• Learned Polish culture and history• Travelled to 8 Polish cities and 14 cities
throughout Europe
Why this Project?• Get paid to travel abroad• Gain real-world aviation R&D
experience• Conduct research in a professional
setting• Learn to interact with people from
very different cultures• The advisors and coworkers were all
extremely friendly
Impact on Me?• Academico Gained valuable research
experienceo Learned new software
