Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmmanuel Sunil is a Senior Scientist at NLR with a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from TU Delft and over a decade of experience in U-space, UTM and RPAS integration. He leads airspace and urban integration efforts, manages real-time and fast-time simulation projects (NARSIM, MUST, TMX) and runs initiatives that test drones as weather sensors for U-space. Equally comfortable in research and delivery, he blends control theory, CNS expertise and hands-on programming to design and validate separation management and detect-and-avoid solutions. His open-source contributions to the Bluesky air traffic simulator show a practical focus on realistic scenario and trajectory modelling that bridges academic simulation with operational tools. Based in Amsterdam, he combines rigorous academic training with project leadership across European ATM experiments and technology acquisitions.

Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:148 commits, 34 PRs, 5 comments in 5 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Emmanuel primarily contributed to the Bluesky air traffic simulator by adding airport and scenario files, specifically focusing on the implementation of aircraft trajectories and flight parameters. The commits involve modifications to scenario files, indicating a focus on creating and refining simulation environments. The code differences suggest work related to aircraft behavior and flight path definition, which would fall under the domain of a back-end developer.
