I work at Airbus. Airbus builds airplanes.
Smaller planes like the ones that Easyjet uses.
Those are called single-aisle planes because of the one aisle that they have.
Then there's the A330 model which has two aisles
Those are called twin-aisle or long range
because of the longer distances that they can cover.
And then there's the famous A380
the plane that glides silently through the skies.
Björn is my internship supervisor
at Airbus.
He has supervised me during my project.
He has familiarised me with the company.
And he's also the guy for Inholland students to contact
when they are interested in an internship.
If you had to prioritise what would you recommend doing first?
I would definitely start with this here.
I started out at Airbus as an intern from Inholland
I graduated with a thesis on the A380 vertical tail plane
I did a tolerance analysis
with which they were able to optimise the station they use.
Airbus was impressed with the work I did
so they asked me to come work for them and continue my research.
That is how I got my tenure.
This contains almost fifty percent of the total chain of tolerance
We had a presentation today
in which we can exchange ideas with other students
and present our work to professors.
Engineering companies will be there as well
and this could possibly lead to job offers.
Knowledge that I still use to this day
is not so much the technical skill
as courses like business communication and project management.
and things we learn during projects when we put theory to practice
What I like most about my job is that Airbus is an international company.
It is very common for us to travel to France, Spain or China.
I see a future at Airbus as a project manager on an international level
where I can help Airbus in my field of expertise
to optimise, analyse and improve their production processes.
