Hybrid-Electric Regional FUSelage & Empennages: An EU-co-funded project, under the Clean Aviation JU Programme
About us
The aim of HERFUSE proposal is to design innovative fuselage and empennages suitable for the future Hybrid-Electric Regional aircraft (HER) that will contribute to the overall target to reduce Green House Gases (GHG) emissions. HERFUSE will study the challenges on fuselage and empennages layout, material, components, manufacturing, and assembly derived by integration of the relevant fuselage systems for HER as defined in the SRIA for a Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft and in HER-01 topic. HERFUSE integrates features and components necessary to regional hybrid-electric propulsion and complementary systems as well as improves weight, durability, aerodynamic efficiency, and operational issues. The technologies and solutions matured in this project shall be aligned and feed with models, analyses and actual test data HERA project on regional aircraft (HORIZON-JU-CLEAN-AVIATION-2022-01-TRA-01). HERFUSE technologies, manufacturing and assembly of critical components will make feasible achieving the targeted performance gains of HER enablers such as low GHG energy sources (batteries and fuel cells), their storage (probable liquid in hydrogen case), their distribution and management, operational and safety features, thermal management provisions, electrical and thermal insulation. Technical solutions set by the HERFUSE will contribute then to the overall target and studies performed at aircraft level in HERA to reduce emissions. Namely, HERFUSE integration requirements will be concurrent and complementary to the aircraft-level ones set into HERA. The project is supported by the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking and its members. Funded by the European Union, under Grant Agreement No 101140567.

🎈 Seeing our partners actively participating in the SYPLA® AEROSPACE Workshop strengthens our sense of teamwork. Collaboration is the 🗝️ key to success in all aspects of life.
Impulsando la innovación en la gestión de salud aeronáutica✈️🌍 Desde Aitiip tuvimos el honor de asistir ayer al SYPLA® AEROSPACE Workshop en Nápoles, un evento que marca un antes y un después en la evolución hacia una aviación más sostenible. Como parte del proyecto europeo HERFUSE, esta jornada se centró en el innovador sistema SYPLA®, una plataforma diseñada para detectar anomalías y optimizar la gestión del mantenimiento, ahora adaptada a las exigencias del sector aeroespacial. ¿Por qué es tan relevante? Porque SYPLA® no solo representa un avance tecnológico, sino un compromiso con la eficiencia y la sostenibilidad en la aviación. La jornada fue un espacio de intercambio con expertos, donde exploramos soluciones que mejoran el rendimiento y a la vez contribuyen a un futuro más verde. En Aitiip tenemos claro que la innovación sucede cuando compartimos ideas y trabajamos juntos por un propósito común. ¡Sigamos fabricando ideas! #Aitiip #FabricandoIdeas #InnovaciónAeronáutica
