Product/Objective

TRADE-OFF STUDY FOR THE RANKING OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES BEST FITTING WING

Project Summary

The virtual simulation techniques and tools have today so pervasively entered the aerospace sector, that it would be almost superfluous to enumerate the reasons of such a broad and all-encompassing diffusion. It is barely worth noting that some of the mostly used key-words, which can be found in the technical literature related to the description of FEM analyses carried out in this industrial sector, are “weight reduction”, “increased safety”, “reduction of manufacturing and maintenance costs”, “decreasing of environmental impacts”: the attainment of all this objectives can be indeed very effectively supported by using the most advanced numerical simulation methods. The core of this project is in fact the development of a trade-off study, meant to compare several different structures incorporating new technologies, in order to determine the most promising solutions among those considered: these different solutions will be compared on the basis of suitably selected figures of merit, with the objective to reduce the weight of the structure, enhance its mechanical properties and reduce the costs and efforts of the production and maintenance phases of the considered components.

Innovation

The project results will produce important impacts, introducing in the wing components technology
fundamental innovations that will bring to the attainment of significant technical, economic and
environmental benefits at European level.

ES Role

EnginSoft develop a baseline model of the wing stub box, different variants to analyse the impact of the considered structural modifications on the overall performances of the system and bring to the completion of the trade-off study, by allowing the individuation of the most promising technical solutions

Research project

Apulia Space

Sviluppo di Tecnologie Abilitanti nei segmenti Spazio, Terra e Utente

The project covered a wide range of space-related issues ranging from exploration of the Universe to Earth observation, including systems, the management of remote data reception, and awareness-raising activities for regional consumer acceptance of the use of space systems.

Research project

FORSAL

FOnderia Robotizzata per la SAlute dei Lavoratori

Le attrezzature robotizzate per le operazioni di molatura, sbavatura, smaterozzatura e riparazione dei getti sviluppate dal progetto costituiscono una novità assoluta la maggior parte delle fonderie di leghe ferrose.

Research project

VOLPE

Sviluppo di nuove funzioni per strumentazione analitica controllo molecole pericolose in forma volatile

Il progetto VOLPE mira all’ingegnerizzazione e all’industrializzazione di un innovativo strumento optoelettronico per la rilevazione di sostanze esplosive in forma volatile, integrabile con i sistemi commerciali per il controllo dei bagagli a mano, ed in grado di operare in completa autonomia.
