AQUASENSE - Research and Validation of a Prototype for Simultaneous LWC/IWC Detection in Icing Wind Tunnels
Within the AquaSense framework, a method for the simultaneous detection of both the aggregation state and concentration of water in flowing media, specifically for application in high temporal resolution icing wind tunnels, will be investigated for the first time in order to test, optimise and certify aircraft systems under defined icing conditions. A photoacoustic spectroscopy based prototype will be developed and tested under different operating conditions in the RTA Icing Wind Tunnel and the FHJ Icing Wind Tunnel.
Addictive Tooling -Additive Fertigung Innovativer Toolings zur Herstellung Intelligenter Faserverbundbauteile
In Addictive Tooling the consortium will develop a manufacturing process for an undercut FRP hollow structure for the EC135 rotor system and its associated tooling system in additive manufacturing. Therefore, a new designed vacuum assisted infusion technology will be the baseline for further development of intelligent, sensor-optimized toolings and robust processes.
Evolution#4 - Development of a fully automated airplane manufacturing technology and implementation of IoT
In Evolution#4 an approach for the 4th industrial revolution will be addressed by bringing the production of aeronautical structures to a fully automated RTM process. In an holistic approach with leading specialists from Airbus the Austrian consortium will develop intelligent, sensor-based and quality driven production technology and prepare for coming project on the example of the A320 vertical tail plane.
Hairmate - Hybrid Aircraft Seating Manufacturing and Testing
HAIRMATE project aims to design and manufacture moulds for manufacturing and testing the next generation aircraft seating obtained in the HAIRD project. Within the HAIRD project a new seating with reduction of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) risk, multi-functionality and simple surfaces for composite manufacturing was designed. The moulds to manufacture the structural parts will be manufactured.
IMAC PRO - Industrialized Manufacturing of CFRP Profiles
The technological objective of IMac-Pro is the development of a complete integrated process chain for the cost effective serial production of optimised CFRP stiffener profiles (e.g. frames, stringer, struts, floor beams, drive shafts,…) for all kinds of aircrafts (passenger planes, helicopters, fighters) based on textile technologies in combination with advanced injection and curing technologies.
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.
MoVeTech - Model-Based Processing Technique for the Manufacturing of High-Quality Structural FRP Components for the Aerospace Industry
It is within the MoVeTech project that the concept of model-based processing technology was first implemented in the ARTM (Advanced Resin Transfer Moulding) process. This concept is based on the idea of combining phenomenologically based know-how about relevant mechanisms (heat conduction and transfer on moulds and composites, flow processes during mould filling or curing kinetics of reactive resins) in the form of mathematical models, and making them available at the level of process management - while adhering to real-time requirements.
SARISTU - Smart Intelligent Aircraft Structures
The concept of Smart Intelligent Aircraft Structures offers significant improvements in aircraft total weight, manufacturing cost and, above all, operational cost by an integration of system tasks into the load carrying structure. The project focuses on integration activities in the three distinct technological areas airfoil morphing, self-sensing and multifunctional structures through self-healing and the use of nanoreinforced resins.
SPARTA - Frame production in the RTM process for aviation applications
The project SPARTA tooling comprises the development of a cost- and energy efficient, automated resin transfer molding production process for aerospace fuselage frames. The big benefit of the process is the possibility for automation, shown in automation developments, and the outlook to high volume production feasibility.
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.
VertSLD - Prospecting for the Construction of a Vertical Icing Wind Tunnel for Experimental Simulation of Icing by Supercooled Large Droplets
The exploratory project VertSLD investigates both the physical feasibility and economic viability of an icing wind tunnel concept which avoids many of the difficulties that arise in existing icing wind tunnels when the size of the water droplets exceeds a few hundred microns. in this new concept the "flight path" of the drops within which they are supercooled is arranged vertically and not horizontally.
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.
