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.

Powering the next generation of off-highway suspension design

Design process integration of an independent suspension axle for off-highway vehicles

This study presents the work undertaken by Dana Incorporated to develop a new independent suspension axle for an off-highway vehicle (OHV). This multi-disciplinary simulation activity combines improvements to the kinematic and dynamic performance of the suspension while also examining the constraints of the mechanical design and the hydraulic system, as well as the cost of the suspension.
