Last week, #Innovation experts took part in the International Conference on More Electric Aircraft (#MEA24) held at ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse. The event gathered industry and research representatives to share solutions related to technological developments as well as to future concepts associated to more/all electrical aircraft. The Airbus #ASCEND project (by the UpNext team linked to #ZeroE) demonstrated the strong potential of using cryogenics and #superconducting technologies for #hydrogen-powered aircraft. The main values will come from 🔷 Very high powertrain efficiency 🔷 Low voltage distribution network 🔷 High power density of electric components ✈️ New design space thanks to high current density enabling direct drive motors for instance or more. #sustainableaviation #superconductors #powerdensity #aviation #aerospace

Following the Airbus press-briefing a focus on the Fuel Cell Powered Hydrogen #ZeroE powerplant has been a focus of attention, and the use of the #ASCEND Superconducting motor seems to be a clear option to challenge the Gas Turbine option for #ZeroEmissions. This paper sets out that the investment in the #superconducting #motors will be a key to unlock - and looking forward to helping HyFlux.

5 years later, Sonaca closes the curtain on HLFC Win. If you had to remember few things from this project? ✔ One JEC Composites Innovation award in 2023 ✔ Numerous technologies to be used for next developments : Krueger flap, induction de-icing system,... ✔ And our partners congratulations for the great work This project was achieved with the partnership of German Aerospace Center (DLR) Aernnova Aerospace ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab and Airbus as coordinator. Cleansky2 initiative aims to develop new technologies for a clean, innovative and competitive aviation system. As a reminder, HLFC (Hybrid Laminar Flow Control) technology is designed to maintain the smoothest possible flow along the wing. It offers the potential for significant reductions in specific fuel consumption. The teams developed a ground demonstrator to check the feasibility and integration of all associated HLFC systems.    #aerospace #innovation #engineering #industry

🎯 Resilience, competitiveness and sustainability - our goals for the aerospace industry within the BMWK-funded Aerospace-X project. This week, together with more than 30 partners from the aviation industry and research, we took part in the kick-off of the Aerospace-X project led by Airbus, one of the largest projects within the Manufacturing-X research program. Under the motto "Manufacturing-X ... Make Data Work", we will be developing an open, collaborative data ecosystem that will serve as the basis for the scalable use of manufacturing data in the aviation industry. Our main task is the participation within the "End-to-End Quality Management" work package, which is under the direction of our spin-off gemineers GmbH. In this work package, the digital twin will form the basis for data-based quality management, which plays a particularly important role in the manufacture and operation of safety-critical engine and structural components. 💪 With our project results, we want to make a contribution to more sustainable and resilient supply chains for the aerospace industry - a goal that is even more of a concern to us in times of global crises such as geopolitical instability, pandemics and cyber security risks. In other work packages of the Aerospace-X project, we aim to provide solutions for capacity management, reducing the carbon footprint of products and for the circular economy. In addition to a total of four collaborating Fraunhofer Institutes, numerous German and European engine OEMs and Tier-n suppliers are also involved, with whom we have been working together on a trustful basis for many years. Other partners include providers of digital solutions and research institutions from the aerospace industry. For the kick-off, we were welcomed by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz and VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH at the ZAL Center of Applied Aeronautical Research in Hamburg. ✈️ We are very much looking forward to working together on this exciting and future-relevant research field!
