Michael Zintl

Michael Zintl is a researcher at the Institute of Flight System Dynamics, Technical University of Munich (TUM), specializing in flight control systems and augmented reality applications for advanced air mobility. He holds a Master of Science degree and contributes to cutting-edge eVTOL aircraft research.

His research focuses on:

• Augmented and Mixed Reality pilot assistance systems
• Flight simulation frameworks for eVTOL training
• Landing/take-off display concepts for degraded visual environments
• Holographic cockpit instrumentation prototyping

Recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate concentrated work on AR/MR integration for pilot-vehicle interfaces in advanced air mobility, with recurring themes in automatic landing validation, simplified vehicle operations, and instructor station design across IEEE/AIAA conferences.

Zintl has supervised 12 TUM student theses on AR landing assistance, mixed reality training systems, and cockpit instrumentation for eVTOL aircraft, mentoring topics ranging from air traffic obstacle highlighting to extended head-down displays.

He operates within TUM's Institute of Flight System Dynamics facilities, utilizing flight simulators and research infrastructure for trajectory optimization, navigation data fusion, and safety-critical avionics development.
