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.
BISANCE - BIphasic System integrated in the Airframe of a NaCElle
The project intends to test in icing wind tunnel (IWT) one demonstrator of engine air intake integrated in a nacelle and equipped with an innovative biphasic heat transport system for regenerating the energy from the oil of the engine. The objective, by testing the technology in a representative environment, is to reach TRL5. At the end of the project the technology will be able to be further developed towards TRL6 to 9 with the final aim to be transferred to the aeronautic value chain.
Ice Grid - Investigation of Ice Formation on Protection Grids in Aircraft Air-Conditioning Systems
The IceGrid project examined protection grids in the air conditioning systems of passenger aircraft and at the interface to mobile climate modules on the ground for icing and de-icing. The methods used included both experimental testing in the icing wind tunnel and numerical simulations.
AntiIce - Anti-icing/De-icing Systems to Improve Aircraft Performance and Safety
The aim of the Anti-Ice project was the production of new and innovative materials for aircraft surface coating to prevent icing. Furthermore, micromechanical (piezo) actuators for active ice removal have been developed.
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.
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.
Drone Forum Austria
After several years, the Austrian Drone Forum was re-launched on 28 November 2022 on the initiative of the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology in cooperation with Austro Control and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency. Topics discussed included the drone regulatory framework and its implementation, drone research in Austria and the acceptance of civil drone applications.
National Workshop on Sustainable Aviation Fuels
The workshop within the AMF project on sustainable aviation fuels (IEA AMF Task 63: Sustainable Aviation Fuels) highlighted the topic of sustainable aviation fuels in Austria, increasing the visibility of stakeholders and discussing their positions. In particular, the current research needs and barriers regarding market introduction were surveyed.

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.
