Aircraft Seat Rails
Bishop GmbH has shrunk aircraft seat rails to 1 centimetre and tested new concepts made of aluminum and CFRPs. The result: the rails are lighter, more flexible, and stable. [more]
Simulation and tests with riveted CFRP sheets
Investigating the joining of two CFRP fuselage shells using CFRP bolts, and the behaviour of such joins under cyclical stress. Goal: to determine the static strength and fatigue behaviour and thereby make recommendations for the... [more]
Moving Map Application
Philotech is developing a Moving Map application for the modular decentralised inflight enterntainment system (MDIS) being developed by the project partner, Zodiac. Passengers should be able to individually tailor the display of... [more]
Thermographic crack detection
The partners want to replace the current manual inspections of aluminum aircraft fuselages, which is intensive in terms of both time and labour, with mobile, robot-based thermographic test procedures. [more]
Demand control cycle for global component and spare parts management
Developing ideal control cycles for process management of optimal material needs planning in global equipment supplies for LRU (line replaceable units). [more]
Digital Boarding Support (DiBUS)
The DiBUS project is investigating how smartphones can support passengers in the boarding process. [more]
Analytical buckling analysis of composite structures
Development of highly efficient analysis methods describing the buckling and post-buckling behaviour of stiffened and unstiffened thin-walled composite structures under in-plane loads. [more]
TiLight – innovative lightweight construction of titanium components for aeronautical engineering
Utilising the new potential of lightweight construction by opening up innovative construction techniques and laser additive manufacturing with TiAl6V4. [more]
