Over the past decade Airbus' Landing Gear Systems
Group has been increasing its use of computer-based modeling and
simulation technologies. The use of dynamical systems theory is
playing an increasingly important role in identifying stability
boundaries very quickly and efficiently. Etienne Coetzee, an employee
at Airbus, Bristol, is a key driver of this development. Hinke Osinga
talked to him on location at Airbus in Bristol to find out more about
this exciting direction of research and how he got involved in
it.
