More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing (MAAXIMUS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Even though composite materials are more and more used in modern airframes, many significant improvements are still achievable. Firstly, the substitution of the assembly of many small composite parts by a single one-shot large part provides additional weight reduction. Secondly, the final assembly line process must be adapted to composite properties (lack of ductility, stiffness). Thirdly, if the ...

IMPROVING THE AIRCRAFT SAFETY BY SELF HEALING STRUCTURE AND PROTECTING NANOFILLERS (IASS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Inspection and Maintenance are important aspects when considering the availability of aircraft for revenue flights. Modern airframe design is exploiting new exciting developments in materials and structures to construct ever more efficient air vehicle able to enable ‘smart’ maintenance including self-repair capabilities. The improvement in the aircraft safety by self-healing structures and protect ...

Promoting Aeronautics Innovation and Research (Promo-Air)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Promo-Air is a European Project within the Framework Programme 7 aiming at undertaking actions to raise the interest of young Europeans towards scientific and technical studies in the field of Aeronautics and Air Transport. Although some efforts have been performed towards this objective on a national level or by individual entities Europe-wide, up to now there has not been an initiative for a col ...

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 ...

Simulation Based Solutions for Industrial Manufacture of Large Infusion Composite Parts (INFUCOMP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"Today, advanced composites use either layers of plies impregnated with resin (pre-pregs) to form a laminate, or Liquid Composites Moulding (e.g. RTM) of dry textiles. Prepreg composites give superior mechanical properties due to toughened resins and high fibre content, but suffer from high material costs, limited shapeability, complex, expensive and time consuming manufacturing, and limited mater ...

Support for European Aeronautical SMEs (AeroPortal)

Start date: Dec 1, 2007, End date: May 31, 2010,

The AeroPortal project is created by the merger of the two support actions AeroSME and SCRATCH. It is the prime objective of AeroPortal to support aeronautical SMEs in advancing their technology base and their competitiveness through participation in European RTD projects. This is done by creating a single point of reference for information and project opportunities and by providing a wide ranging ...
