Pipistrel: flying straight from simulation to production

Abstract

Pipistrel, an aviation and aerospace company based in Slovenia, chose ESTECO technologies to design the propeller for a highly efficient, hybrid-electric aircraft.

The work was part of the EU-funded project MAHEPA (Modular Approach to Hybrid Electric Propulsion Architecture), which aimed to advance two variants of a low-emission, serial, hybridelectric propulsion architecture to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. modeFRONTIER process automation and optimization software enabled the simulation process to be automated so that innovative and optimized designs could be identified in a limited amount of time.

Optimizing an offshore wind turbine monopile for hurricane-prone regions

This technical article describes a project led by BLOM Maritime under the auspices of the HS-03 SNAME (the Society of Naval Architects and Maritime Engineers) panel in which ESTECO’s modeFRONTIER process automation and design optimization software was used to optimize the design of a monopile for a 15MW turbine to survive hurricane conditions.
