DJET - D-JET Concept

The goal of the D-Jet project is to construct a small jet for an emerging market segment with a significantly lower price-performance ratio than earlier business jets, better performance with regard to the cruising speed and the rate of climb, short runway requirements for takeoff and landing, as well as a total registered weight under 2,000 kilograms.

FSA - Future Small Aircraft

The aim of this funded project is to launch a modern and highly efficient "Future Small Aircraft" in the general aviation category, which will reduce operating costs to a minimum and thus meet the growing demand. The end result of this project is a certifiable prototype, which will be developed in a timeframe of around 32 months.

HEMEP - Hybrid Electric Multi Engine Plane

The consortium partners in the HEMEP project aim to play a pioneering role in the field of aviation in electric propulsion systems, and thus enable the participating companies to become technology leaders for the future. The multi-engine aircraft with a hybrid electric propulsion system project will serve to further develop the basics of calculation methods in different areas for electric flying.

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.

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.

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.

eSAFE - Emergency Safe Return for CS23 Aircraft

The aim of the project is the development of an automatic emergency flight guidance, including emergency landing for the EASA CS23 category aircraft. In case of sudden in-flight pilot incapacitation or technical problems, after activating the emergency button on board, an airfield with an approach route taking into account dynamic air traffic and weather data should be determined.

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.
