SMILE - SMall Innovative Launcher for Europe (SMILE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Current launchers (ARIANE6 and VEGA C) will guarantee Europe’s independent access to space for the high-end satellite market. These launchers however are significantly less attractive for classes of smaller satellites.The SMILE initiative therefore addresses reliable, affordable, quick and frequent access to space for the emerging market of small satellites up to 50 kg, fulfilling the needs from t ...

ROTATING COWLS (LIGHT-COWLS)

Start date: Mar 25, 2013, End date: Nov 24, 2016,

The Project LIGHT-COWLS is aimed to find out a way to produce rotating nacelle components for aircraft engines by using composites materials with high Tg, production method can be RTM or ATL. In particular the design and manufacturing of rotating nacelle of the CROR is targeted. The materials to be used for this development will be high Tg resins and fibers as reinforcement. Thus the project will ...

Enhanced Lightweight Design (ENLIGHT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Lightweight materials such as carbon-fibre reinforced plastics have been used up to now mostly in high-performance cars with relatively high cost & low production volumes. Instead the electric cars of the future require lightweight solutions that not only enable specific design requirements to be respected but are also cost effective and sustainable throughout their lifecycle.ENLIGHT aims to accel ...

Implementation carbon fibres for rotor of high speed rotating electric machine (HIGHPSLEEVE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The Project HIGHPSLEEVE is aimed to find out a way to produce a fixation component for electrical motor, which turns at 50.000 RPM and works in -50 to 250ºC, of an aircraft by using composites materials with high Tg, such as BMI or Cyanate ester, reinforced with carbon fibers. Production method needs to be researched but Filament Winding seems to be the right candidate process. In particular the d ...

Enabling Next Generation Composite Manufacturing by In-Situ Structural Evaluation and Process Adjustment (ECOMISE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Within current composite part development and manufacturing processes a disproportional high effort is implied in order to find optimal process parameters and to meet required qualities and tolerances of high performance light weight structures.The ECOMISE project proposes a breakthrough production system to enable next generation of thermoset composite manufacturing and post-processing. Within th ...

Selective Tape-Laying for Cost-Effective Manufacturing of Optimised Multi-Material Components (Stellar)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

The aim of the Stellar project is to develop the manufacturing process for high-speed placement of carbon, glass and polymer fibre reinforced matrices, in selected locations in a composite structure, to provide the optimum reinforcement, weight and cost profile within a part.The use of composite materials in structural components is becoming well established in a range of applications, and the mat ...

GReener Aeronautics International Networking-2 (GRAIN 2)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,

As mentioned in the Executive Summary of the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda, Aviation has an important role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as noise and local air quality issues. The continuous increase of air passenger transport generates an increasing use of hydrocarbon fuel with excessive emission of CO2 and NOX (greenhouse gases, pollutants and noise). It is well k ...

Development of a composite sleeve for spatial separation of rotor and stator in an electric motor (COMPOSLEEVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,

The Project COMPOSLEEVE is aimed to find out a way to produce a stator sleeve for stator/rotor separation in electrical motor, which need to be cooled with aggressive fluids such as Skydrol, with high internal pressure and a temperature range that goes above 200ºC. For this application possible materials are composites with high Tg resins, such as BMI or Cyanate ester, reinforced with non conducti ...

Modelling And Testing for Improved Safety of key composite StructurEs in alternatively powered vehicles (MATISSE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

"MATISSE aims to make a significant step forward in the capability of the automotive industry to model, predict and optimise the crash behaviour of mass produced Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures, which will be extensively used in Alternatively Powered Vehicles. The ability to investigate crashworthiness of FRP vehicle structures by numerical simulation is crucial for these light ...

PUMA

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Pressure forward bulkheads presently consist of different parts requiring an assembly process to get the final structure. Cost reduction can be achieved by using one shot injection technologies where an integrated skin-stiffening pre-form will be injected in one single shot. Further reduction of costs and energy consumption can be achieved by using Out of Autoclave resin systems. This proposal add ...
