New Funding Calls for Aircraft Sustainability

CALL: Sustainability of Hybrid-Electric Aircraft System Architectures

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020 

 

This topic intends to set-up a basic “LCI/LCA-hub” in the European aviation industry to ensure continuity and harmonization for the collection of Live Cycle Inventory (LCI) and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) as reference related to future electric/hybrid aircraft according to eco-DESIGN Standards.

CALL: Large scale aircraft composite structures recycling

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

Within this project, methods for the salvaging, dismantling and recycling of a large transport aircraft with large, complex CFRP composite structures shall be investigated and demonstrated.

CALL: Airport level assessments for fixed wing aircraft

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

These comprise the simulation of airport air traffic applying operational fleet traffic procedures for a set of selected airports and the related quantification of noise & emissions benefits through Clean Sky 2 technology aircraft.

CALL: Airport and ATS Level Assessment for Rotorcraft

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

These comprise the simulation of airport air traffic applying operational fleet traffic procedures for a set of selected airports and the related quantification of noise & emissions benefits through Clean Sky 2 technology aircraft.

CALL: Scalability and limitations of Hybrid Electric concepts up to large commercial aircraft

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

Certain switch points are existing were technologies are better suited to one or another class, also in the frame of different regulatory frameworks.

CALL: Reduction of the environmental impact of aviation via optimisation of aircraft size/range and flight network

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

The study should investigate – based on a historical data from 2000 and 2014 plus demand forecast for the time until 2050 – emission and noise reduction potentials of an optimised combination of aircraft size/range and flight network – and their impacts on stakeholders plus demand.

CALL: High power density / multifunctional electrical energy storage solutions for aeronautic applications

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

This project will address solutions to increase the power density of batteries (i.e. by investigating new battery chemistries) and solutions for better integration at aircraft level (i.e. by integrating the batteries in the aircraft structure, with the aim of rise the overall power density performance of the storage system saving weight and volume).

CALL: Insulation Monitoring for IT Grounded (Isolation Terra) Aerospace Electrical Systems

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

Insulation monitoring technology is a crucial safety system on high integrity power distribution in land and marine systems, however they have not been tested, proven, optimised and made commercially available for aerospace. A functionally representative insulation monitoring demonstration for aerospace is required, incorporating applicable lessons and experience of established markets, but addressing some of the specialised aerospace environment and its safety processes.

CALL: Thermoplastic fuselage repair process integrated on manufacturing line

Deadline Model : single-stage

Planned opening date:   28 January 2020 Deadline:   28 April 2020

 

Development of new technologies for in-house repair (rework) for structural and non-structural applications on Single Part, Major Component Assembly and Final Assembly Line level.
