Within the Clean Sky JTI, the use of a nanocomposite material for primary structures of a Green Regional Aircraft is going to be thoroughly studied and analysed. The nano-filler modified matrix have a great potential to exhibit high performance in terms of thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. The modified resins should able to be used in the prepreg route for composite fabrication, which means that the uncured resin must exhibits proper rheological properties and dispersion in liquid phase compatible with the impregnation of dry fiber fabrics. The objective of AIT is to manufacture nanomodified resins to fulfil the requirements of the Clean Sky roadmap. In a first step, nanoparticles will be selected among 1D (needle shape like carbon nanotubes or nanofibres), 2D (plate shape like nanoclays) and 3D (ball shape like Al2O3, ZrO2, or Boehmite) geometries. Then AIT will benefit of its experience in nanotechnology to set-up the dispersion methods, to produce batches of modified resin (12 different types are planed), to set up the curing parameter, to produce samples and finally, to characterize them. The proposed test campaign will investigate the chemical, physical, morphological, rheological, thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. The dissemination and exploitation of the result will be assure by the management Team in close communication and collaboration with the ITD leaders and other CS-RTD partners.

Today, wired sensors are used for monitoring the condition of aircraft engines, structures, gear boxes, and so on. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), i.e., smart sensors with radio interfaces, promise unprecedented operational benefits; such as, reduced airplane sensor wiring costs and weight as cabling is limited to specific scenarios and the flexibility to be deployed on-board aircraft without requiring a redesign of the data wiring layout. Such benefits are also important arguments for programs such as Green Regional Aircraft which aims at developing and installing sensors to continuously control accidental damage, environment effects, and consequently in service structural degradation, targeting a 9% reduction of the empty weight of the aircraft. To this end, AirWISE is developed in response to the requirements described in the Clean Sky call for proposals referenced under JTI-CS-2009-GRA-01-019 and named “Miniaturized Sensors”. AirWISE is focused on developing a generic hardware platform for airborne WSN nodes leveraging an existing low-power 2.4 GHz CSEM wireless module known as ZorgWave. The technical strategy is to evaluate, re-design and re-qualify the existing module to adapt it to the limitations and constraints imposed by operation in airborne environments in accordance with FAA regulations. The design and development of the WSN hardware will be performed by CSEM in accordance with the requirements described in the call for proposals. In order to fulfill these requirements, in particular those related to the aeronautics environment and regulations, CSEM will collaborate with RUAG Aerospace which will be working in this project as aeronautics advisors. RUAG Aerospace will also advise on the quality assurance of the project CSEM will bring to AirWISE its long track record in WSN developments (resulting, for example, in the WiseNET Technology Platform) covering all building blocks of the radio system (IC design, full network stack design, anten

Fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBG) for structural health monitoring has gained increasing importance in aerospace applications, since it enables large-scale measurement of most relevant structural parameters while mitigating well-know technical constrains of conventional sensors. The main drawback of a fiber Bragg grating strain sensor is its thermal cross-sensitivity. Currently such a single parameter measurement is difficult to implement, since cross-sensitivity to temperature compels the use of an additional temperature reference. In this project a passive athermal FBG strain gage that renders optional the measurement of temperature is proposed. Such a design will benefit large scale system design and performance. The innovative design will ensure athermal operation of the strain gage by canceling the intrinsic fiber optic thermal sensitivity. Moreover the passive athermal design may be adjusted to further compensate for structural thermal expansion, thus enabling stress and load-induced strain-components to be measured. Special care will be taken on the design of the sensor enclosure to enable multiplexing of several sensors over a single optical fiber and ease installation procedures in aerospace applications. Qualified space fiber optic cables for sensing network deployment will be employed. Commercially available industrial interrogation unit equipment will be taken as a base to evaluate the optoelectronic hardware adaptation that would be required in order to fulfill aerospace specifications. The design requirements will be assessed in terms of mechanical (mass, volume, vibration and shock), thermal (heat dissipation and operation temperature range) and electrical parameters (power consumption and communication interface). Embedded software will allow for data conversion from wavelength measurements to engineering parameters (strain, temperature, load) that will afterwards be processed considering SHM requirements to provide automatic alarm generation.

The objective of this activity is to design and manufacture composite specimens integrating fibre optic sensors, evaluate the reliability of the sensors, develop a concept to evaluate the system reliability and define a design of experiments of sensorized structures. The purpose of this study is to facilitate the validation of real-time health monitoring systems, which can detect strain as well as the temperature of the structure at multiple locations through numerous embedded optical fibre sensors. Optical fibre sensors for damage detection will be embedded in the structure made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates. An integrated assessment of all critical manufacturing steps of fibre Bragg grating strain sensors will be performed in order to achieve high reliability of the embedding process in composite materials. The study will comprise the analysis of different types of optical fibres towards the optimization of embedding processes in composite materials. High resolution strain mapping by embedding series of closely spaced independent sensors in composite material samples will be assessed. Parameters that influence the infant failure of the structures will be analysed and the tests required to asses their effect will be defined. A preliminary test campaign based on thermal, mechanical and fatigue tests have already been defined.

Project CARING (Contribution of Airlines for the Reduction of Industry Nuisances and Gases) aims at better understanding how airlines deal with the environmental constraints, currently and in the future. CARING pursues three main objectives in line with Clean Sky’s Systems for Green Operations ITD: - Gather trajectory data from actual flights. These trajectory data will be used in Clean Sky’s simulator to evaluate their environmental impact and will be compared with future optimal trajectories permitted by the progress of the Clean Sky programme. - Understand the current and future environmental constraints and the basis for taxations, emission permits, etc. - Model how airlines deal with the environmental constraints, and how it affects their economics, their operations and their strategy. To be comprehensive, the CARING study covers several models of airlines: regional, low-cost, charter and long-haul. For trajectory data, environmental specialists will work with airlines to record FDR data on a variety of routes (congested airports, secondary airports, medium haul, long haul), aircrafts (turboprops, single aisles, long range) and approaches (regular, CDA) that are relevant for an environmental study. Trajectory data will then be analyzed and synthesized for use within the Clean Sky simulator. For environmental constraints, the consortium will conduct a survey of existing and potential future international rules. At last, an economic modelling will be developed based on the previous surveys and an analysis of the other costs within an airline (crew, delays, missed connections, etc.). This economic business model will help understand how the environmental constraints might affect future airline strategies, fleet and network decisions. The consortium involves 9 airlines as well as airline environmental specialists, airline operations &amp; costs specialists and air transport economists.

The present proposal addresses the acoustic and thermal instrumentation, tests and modelling of engine surface coolers in representative aerodynamic conditions. In addition to aerodynamic tests already performed on surface coolers in a regional funded project, complementary tests have to be conducted to characterize these equipments from a thermal and acoustic point of view. The concerned Air Cooled Oil Cooler thermal characterization will be performed in a high speed wind tunnel, especially adapted in order to host this device and to retrieve take-off engine-like conditions. The main expected results are the quantification of heat extraction and the surface temperature maps of the heat exchanger. The contribution to the acoustic investigation is principally focused a detailed analysis of the measurements.

The tendency of the past to build and test in aeronautics has clearly been overridden by a very extensive simulation activity for many reasons, one of these being the risk associated to safety-critical or safety-related systems. Simulation in hence strategic to develop and test all the key aircraft elements, such as flight control systems, and is now being used effectively also beyond the design purposes, to conceive and evaluate mission strategies, for example, Humane-Machine-Interfaces or operational procedures. During the last decade, many commercial simulation environments and advanced software codes have been released and made available to research centers and industrial entities, which now share very powerful and versatile simulation tools. It is now possible to simulate very complex multi-variable multi-dynamic non linear aircraft systems in real time on a single personal computer. There are tools for testing, verification and validation of the related flight control systems and for automatic generation of executable codes, which comply with the main avionic standards (such as the DO-178B). The proposer research group has been using effectively all these tools extensively to develop flight simulators for rotary and fixed wing manned aircrafts as well as for lighter-than-air unmanned platforms. The group has developed a strong competence in all the activities related to interpretative dynamic simulation, advance control system design, software stress analysis, I/O interface setting and testing, as well as real-time validation. Moreover the group is now sustaining an extensive effort in developing a Matlab/Simulink framework for multi-purpose activities such as system and subsystem design, but also model-base reliability and safety analysis. All these technical competences as well as all the already available unclassified simulators will be made available for the MAS_Lab, to develop, validate and maintain the aircraft simulator object of this proposal.
