The objective of the Open Digital Environment for Hybrid-Electric Regional Architectures (ODE4HERA) project is to enable and accelerate the development of Hybrid-Electric Regional (HER) aircraft thanks to improved tools and techniques implemented in a transferable and Open Digital Platform (ODP).
HER configurations imply far higher complexity than conventional configurations while involving new aircraft technologies and broader collaboration across the value/supply chain. State-of-the-art digitalization techniques limitations put at risk the achievement of the 2035 HER Entry-Into-Service (EIS) target. To address these challenges, the ODP developed in ODE4HERA will combine MBSE, MDO, SDM and PLM technologies and extend them with novel open interfaces, formats, smart model and data transformation technologies efficiently handling and processing HER configurations complexity, including frontload verification at design stage and virtualize validation for improved virtual certification.
Four innovations will be introduced by the ODE4HERA project:
EnginSoft will implement the Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) both applied to CAE, as well as to Model Based System Engineering (MBSE), which is increasingly required in the application of Integrated Verification and Validation (IV&V). In addition, EnginSoft will develop Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Simulation Data Management (SDM) interfaces that are crucial for the automation of workflows ensuring the Digital Continuity of the enterprises.

Some of our competences in research and technology transfer
Research project
Aligned with Europe’s green transition, GeoS-TECHIS supports the EU's "Fit for 55" climate goals by integrating renewable energy, improving efficiency, and fostering the circular economy. Adhering to the European Commission’s "Do No Significant Harm" principle, the project advances environmental sustainability, innovation, and economic growth.
Research project
The GAP Project’s innovativeness lies in the development of innovative metallic materials with multi-sector application potential, increased by experimentation with new specific technologies (e.g. the use of ceramic cores for die-casting, surface treatments, and joining techniques).
Research project
The goal of the project was to design a full Plant Characterization Unit (PCU) chamber with a completely sealed environment for the plants and roots. The designed plant control unit inherited the know-how from two previous projects, HySSE and AtSSE.
