AdVanced Aerodynamic Tools for lArge Rotors (AVATAR)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The motivation for the AVATAR project lies in the fact that upscaling wind turbine designs towards 10-20 MW requires radical innovations to make this feasible. Many of these innovationshave a strong aerodynamic component and can be considered as unconventional from an aerodynamic point of view. As such the analysis of the resulting rotor designs falls outside the validated range of applicability o ...

TEst of Tilt-Rotor Air intakes (TETRA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
The project pertains to the wind tunnel testing of the engine air-intakes of a tilt-rotor aircraft. The testing activity aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the internal intake duct shape optimisation performed by GRC. Both the original and the optimised duct geometries will be tested in a purposely designed and manufactured nacelle model which includes the rotor hub and the external part of the ...

Dynamics in Aircraft Engineering Design and Analysis for Light Optimized Structures (DAEDALOS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
"Today’s design and certification procedures of aircrafts are mainly based on conservative static loading which leads to additional weight and, potentially, to a structurally unsafe aircraft. The overall objective of the DAEDALOS project is to develop methods and procedures to determine dynamical loads considering the effects of dynamic buckling, material damping and mechanical hysteresis during a ...
