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.
Update on the ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on a level playing field for sustainable air transport. Decision in the TRAN Committee is expected.
PROB4LOWW - Probabilistic MET Information for Capacity Optimisation in Arrival and Departure Management
In the proposed exploratory project, a concept for the integration of probabilistic meteorological information in arrival and departure management for capacity optimisation shall be devised. Flight planning and operation guidelines as well as detailed simulations of air traffic will be used to obtained a cost-loss ratio, which provides the basis to determine the optimal probability thresholds required to set arrival and departure rates at the occurrence of individual weather events.
DIBMETSAT - Digital Image Processing Supported Meteorology Services for Air Traffic Management
Air traffic controllers face the challenge of dealing with a flood of information. An essential source of information here are images and measurements of current weather conditions. Providing automated, higher-level messages from weather radar and satellite images, combining them and generating new measurements for an improved visibility estimation should provide substantial support.
ICE GENESIS - Creating the Next Generation of 3D Simulation Means for Icing
The top level objective of the ICE GENESIS project is to provide the European aeronautical industry with a validated new generation of 3D icing engineering tools (numerical simulation and test capabilities), addressing App C, O and snow conditions, for safe, efficient and cost effective design and certification of future aircraft and rotorcraft.

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.
AIRlabs Austria - Aeronautical Innovation & Research Laboratories Austria
The BMK innovation lab AIRlabs Austria plans to establish and operate a multisite test infrastructure to support research, development, validation and integration UAS. With a total of 25 consortium partners from the fields of users, industrial companies and research institutions, the necessary test enablers for UAS will be provided along all TRLs and along the innovation path. Even though the focus of the innovation lab is on airspaces, ground-based infrastructures are also part of AIRlabs Austria's offering. The advantages of Austria's location (e.g. (high) alpine areas) as well as the interests of domestic industry and scientific partners are taken into account.
How Austria became the technology driver in aviation production processes
Austria is internationally renowned when it comes to efficient production of aviation components made of fibre-reinforced plastics – a result of extensive research and development activities.
Aviation Roadmap 2020
The aviation roadmap 2020 is the strategic plan of the Austrian Federal Government for the aviation sector and aims at strengthening the competitiveness of the aviation industry's domestic aviation and building a sustainable and efficient infrastructure.

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.
DARVIS - Data Fusion of K/X Band Radar with Visual Sensors for Airborne Platforms
Various sensor technologies in aviation have so far insufficiently combined the respective complementary properties. The optimal fusion as well as the respective characteristics of the sensors are to be optimally used in the future. The different methods for calibration and synchronization will be investigated and optimized. The results will then be incorporated into a sensor technology model for collision avoidance in aviation.
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.
