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.
I³PS - Integration of Innovative Ice Protection Systems
The project goal is to economically remove ice accreting on aircraft structure critical parts and thus increase reliability and mass saving on the global function. By comparison with the present existing solutions which are based on active pneumatic and electro-thermal means the targeted solutions will enable electrical power consumption, cost and mass reductions and ease the overall integration process.
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.
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.
Mission
HEAT - Heating Paint Based De-icing System for Drive Components and Aircraft Wings
The aim of the HEAT project was to develop a special heating paint as the basis for a lightweight, simple and flexible de-icing system for aircraft. This de-icing system, which is intended for both anti-icing and de-icing procedures, is intended to increase the safety of the aircraft through high damage tolerance and, at the same time, to be particularly energy-saving due to the lower system weight and efficient energy conversion.
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.
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.
ROPA - Radar Optical Piloted Aircraft
In order to ensure increased safety in flight, ROPA's research work is dedicated to the investigation and data fusion of various optical, infrared and radar sensor methods and procedures. The focus is on the identification of potential conflicts and strategies for collision avoidance as well as the integration and evaluation of the technology in an aircraft according to the EASA CS23 category.
Timeline
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.
Strategic framework of the aviation sector

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.
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.
