Engine Representative Internal Cooling Knowledge and Applications (ERICKA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"The goal of ERICKA is to directly contribute to reductions in aircraft engine fuel consumption with a targeted contribution of 1% reduction in SFC relative to engines currently in service. The fuel efficiency of a jet engine used for aircraft propulsion is dependent on the performance of many key engine components. One of the most important is the turbine whose efficiency has a large influence ...

Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologies II (LAPCAT-II)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Lacpat II is a logical follow-up of the previous EC-project which has as objective to reduce antipodal flights to less than 2 to 4 hours. Among the several studied vehicles, only two novel aircraft for a Mach 5 and 8 flight are retained in the present proposal. Starting from the available Mach 5 vehicle and its related precooled turboramjet, assumed performance figures of different components ...

European Robotic Pedestrian Assistant (EUROPA)

Start date: Mar 2, 2009, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

In the field of robotics, there has recently been a tremendous progress in the development of autonomous robots that offer various services to their users. Typical services include support of elderly people, cleaning, transportation, and delivery tasks, exploration of unaccessible hazardous environments, or surveillance. Most of the systems developed so far, however, are restricted to indoor sce ...

Biaxial Nematic Devices (BIND)

Start date: Feb 7, 2008, End date: Feb 6, 2012,

The recent experimental discovery of novel biaxial liquid crystal (LC) phases is a major breakthrough in functional materials and presents a challenge to develop the technology for a new generation of faster biaxial LC displays. These expectations are based on the existence of a secondary director that can be controlled by external fields. However, to be put in practice, this new possibility requi ...
