Coordinating research and innovation of jet and other sustainable aviation fuel (CORE-JetFuel)

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

For a number of ecologic and economic reasons, the aviation industry is currently in great need for alternative fuels. Highly ambitious goals for the reduction of the sector’s overall greenhouse gas emissions set from industry and politics imply sustainable alternative fuels as major contribution, and require research and innovation efforts in order to develop pathways for an economically feasible ...

Cost Effective Reinforcement of Fastener Areas in Composites (CERFAC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"CERFAC’s major challenge is the design and manufacturing of strong and cost-efficient joints for high performance CFRP aero-structures.In particular, transfer of distributed loading along rivets lines in the assembly of flat or curved thin-walled stiffened panels, and introduction of concentrated loads for connecting lugs with thicker laminates are special & frequent problems. Hence, CERFAC focus ...

NOVEL AERONAUTICAL MULTIFUNCTIONAL COMPOSITE STRUCTURES WITH BULK ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY AND SELF-SENSING CAPABILITIES (ELECTRICAL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"Aircraft structures appear to be strategic components to be manufactured in composite materials for reducing weight, although new questions regarding electrical conductivity have arisen such as static discharge, electrical bonding and grounding, interference shielding and current return through the structure.These functions can be met by the use of technologies based on nanocomposites, which inde ...

Extended Non-Destructive Testing of Composite Bonds (ENCOMB)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

"Even though composite materials are already used in the manufacturing of structural components in aeronautics industry a consequent light-weight design of CFRP primary structures is limited due to a lack of adequate joining technologies. In general, adhesive bonding is the optimum technique for joining CFRP light-weight structures, but difficulties in assessing the bond quality by non-destructive ...

Co-modal Airport (ModAir)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

The ModAir project aims at designing and setting up a mode-overlapping forum, where representatives from the air, rail and urban transport as well as any other relevant actor will contribute to the development and improvement of co-modality and intermodality for passengers in European airports.The interconnectivity at European airports is often still limited to urban transport, with in particular ...

Development of technology building blocks For structural health monitoring sensing devices in aeronautics (TRIADE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"NEEDS and CONCEPTS: Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) will be very important for Aeronautics. A study from Goodrich stated: "Structural Health Monitoring shows a great potential in terms of cost savings coming from the benefits it would have on inspections which are currently about 25% of the Life Cycle Cost of an airline". Some applications are intended to explore the “out-of-flight domain” con ...

Collaborative & Robust Engineering using Simulation Capability Enabling Next Design Optimisation (CRESCENDO)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"The IMG4 project CRESCENDO addresses the Vision 2020 objectives for the aeronautical industry by contributing significantly to the fulfilment of three specific targets of the aeronautical industry’s Strategic Research Agenda. CRESCENDO will develop the foundations for the Behavioural Digital Aircraft (BDA), taking experience and results from VIVACE, and integrating these into a federative system ...
