German Aerospace Center (DLR, Stuttgart and Augsburg) at the TU Munich symposium last fall and CW’s summary published during the same time period, “Moving forward on the Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator (MFFD)”. The project was also described in a presentation given by Lars Larsen at 9:35 on Day 3 of ITHEC 2020: “Process data-driven advancement of robot-based, continuous ultrasonic welding for the Dust-free Assembly of Future Fuselage Structures”. As explained by Larsen, “The major challenge is to show that production costs can be significantly reduced by using automation.�...

ALAIN GARCIA past VP AAE, HonFRAeS, membre Emerite 3AF, JURGEN KLENNER, VP AAE, Member of the DGLR Senate, and RAeS Past-President DAVID MARSHALL FRAeS, present the findings of a joint Académie de l’Air et de l’Espace study into the pressing need for a European civil airliner technology demonstrator. Commercial transport aviation is having to cope simultaneously with: ● huge economic shortfalls in the aviation industry and services operations resulting from the Covid-19 crisis ● an absolute need to deliver much ‘greener’ aviation to the market as soon as possible ● a global l...

PZL Mielec, a Lockheed Martin Company, has conducted a flight test of the M28 aircraft with a novel composite engine nacelle as part of the Clean Sky 2 project SAT-AM (More Affordable Small Aircraft Manufacturing). Photo Credit: PZL Mielec. The Small Air Transport (SAT) category, defined as aircraft with between 4 and 19 passenger seats, is the technologically neglected niche of air travel— the Cinderella of aviation. Manufacturers have been hesitant to invest heavily in new technology here, due to the relatively low production volumes and the tight budgets of operators. Other factors are ...

Structural Repair for Of Composite fuselage (SHERLOC) is part of the Clean Sky 2 Airframe innovative technology demonstrator (ITD), the High Versatility Cost Efficient (HVCE) technology stream, and the work package B-4.3 More affordable composite fuselage. SHERLOC is said to present the most comprehensive assessment of existing structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies and methodologies to date for a composite airframe in the operational and environmental conditions of a regional fleet. A specifically developed building block approach utilizing certification guidelines has been dev...
