Austrian UcM - Austrian UAS for Civil Missions
In the AustrianUCM exploratory project, the potential of Austrian aviation suppliers, research and development organisations in the international market environment of unmanned aerial vehicles will be analysed, resulting in an Austrian UAS (unmanned aerial systems) research agenda . The focus was on unmanned aircraft for predominantly civilian applications with a maximum take-off weight of less than 150 kg, and underlying national law.
DEMONA - Demonstration of UAS Integration for VLL Airspace Operations
Within the DEMONA framework, the integration of an unmanned aerial vehicle into civil airspace and therein used flight guidance, which is based on the Galileo satellite navigation system, will be carried out for the first time in Austria. For this purpose, subsystems for navigation receiver, navigation data fusion, airspace demarcation, data link and collision prevention are to be integrated into a small UAS, and flight testing based on instrument procedures is to be carried out.
IceDrip - Aircraft Anti-icing and De-icing through Assemblies of Conducting Varnish and Functional Coatings
In the project IceDrip the rather promising concept of a discontinuous, electro-thermal de-icer is being investigated. The main aim of the present project is to significantly increase the already existing energetic advantages of the discontinuous de-icer by means of surface-active coatings, in order to achieve a performance range which would make the system suitable for general aviation aircraft, as well as smaller aircraft, which are equipped as large aircraft.
MIXVAL - Mixer Simulation and Validation
In passenger aircraft, the mixing and distribution of humid airflow from the cabin and engines into the cockpit and passenger cabin, as well as electronic components, takes place at a central location of the air conditioning system, the mixer. So far, the flow and heat transfer processes and the ice formation and accretion cannot be calculated with sufficient accuracy. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop a method for simulating the physical processes in the mixer.
OMOSA - Open Modular/Open Source Avionics Architecture for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems
OMOSA is researching the system architectures of avionics for small unmanned aerial vehicles, following the Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) approach. By using commercial, modular hardware and open source software, aircraft electronics are to be developed. These can be used for flight control, as a navigation system, and as a C2 link. For this purpose, aircraft antennas integrated into the fuselage will also be included. The project results will be validated via a measurement campaign using a rotorcraft.
TWID - Heating-Paint Sensor Based Wing Ice Detector
In the scope of the TWID project, a method for reliable detection of ice on wing surfaces and other relevant structures on an aircraft is to be developed, examined and validated in the course of various tests on the small-scale and full-scale models in the icing wind tunnel. Ice detection combined with the de-icing method, which is already in development, results in a completely self-sufficient de-icing system, which independently identifies and reliably removes ice on the wings.
eWING_DE-ICER - Development of an Energy-Efficient Electrothermal De-icing System for Wing Leading Edges in Aviation
Within the scope of the eWING_DE-ICER project, a method for developing energy-optimised de-icing systems for wing leading edges, based on a thermoelectric heating system, is to be developed. In addition to the development of forecasting models for the optimal design of all components involved, different prototypes are to be set up as in the model, as well as in full-scale, and tested in various icing wind tunnels.
