Dassault Aviation’s Post

Great project and ambitions for the decarbonation of the aircraft sector

🛩 Last week was a blast! Our esteemed partners from the University of Stuttgart – Institute of Aircraft Design (IFB) showcased their groundbreaking research on sustainable aviation at this year's AERO Friedrichshafen, the leading airshow for general aviation. During these 4 insightful days, they took the chance to present CONCERTO Project and its recent advancements to the visitors, highlighting the impact it has had on the achievement of Clean Aviation's ambitions. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e-4ZcyzW 🌐 Our #team: Dassault Aviation ArianeGroup Aviation Design BNAE - Bureau de Normalisation de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace German Aerospace Center (DLR) EASN Technology Innovation Services IRT Saint Exupéry ISAE-SUPAERO NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab Pipistrel Aircraft Safran Thales Universitat de Girona University of Stuttgart – Institute of Aircraft Design (IFB) Airbus Airbus Defence and Space Airbus Helicopters Advanced Laboratory on Embedded Systems S.r.l.

In a very informative article in Aviation Week Network, Jens Flottau and Guy Norris describe the technological challenges aircraft manufacturers #Airbus, #Boeing and #Embraer face in the process of developing a new generation of narrowbody aircraft: https://lnkd.in/eCDFAi2M The German Aerospace Center (DLR) #EXACT (Exploration of Electric Aircraft Concepts and Technologies) project, whose aircraft design renderings (besides those of Bauhaus Luftfahrt) are shown in the article, addresses the same questions that aircraft manufacturers are asking themselves. In this project, our colleagues from various DLR institutes are developing new technological concepts and assessing the economic and environmental impact of different energy carriers, propulsion systems and aircraft configurations. If you want to learn more about EXACT, its research questions and results, you are cordially invited to join us for EXACT Public Days on May 7th and 8th 2024 at the ZAL Center for Applied Aeronautics in Hamburg-Finkenwerder.

[Meet] Dr Mohamed Reza, the Chairman and Founder of Pegasus Universal Aerospace team. The team won the 2023 NSTF-South32 Innovation Award: Small, Medium and Micro Enterprise (SMME) sponsored by the National Intellectual Property Management Office (NIPMO). They were recognised for the design and development of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, which it is envisaged should create between 7 000 and 11 000 new jobs and the development of the necessary skills locally. Dr Reza said the ‘Pegasus’ aircraft looks just like a small jet, but doesn’t need a runway, it will also be safer than either a helicopter or a plane. He stated: “A plane is able to stall and possibly fall out of the sky. If that was to happen to Pegasus, the wings would open, the fans would turn on and you’d be in vertical take-off mode”.

Look closely to see the Speedbird… Most of the Concorde fleet are in museums but if you look closely enough you will see one still at London Heathrow Airport. G-BOAB never left and if you zoom in on your phone’s mapping app you will see her over on the South Eastern side sitting next to a modern twin engine widebody jet (looks like an Airbus A350). She still looks sleek and fast, and you can get a sense of scale and size between the two types of aircraft. At the time of its development, Concorde was not only a testament to engineering brilliance but perhaps also pioneered the international collaboration that enables the incredible engineering innovation behind today’s aircraft? If you want to know more about Concorde, then there is a good documentary on BBC iPlayer | Concorde: A Supersonic Story Imagine what we can achieve today with the incredible engineering tools available to us and we continue to collaborate; what technology leaps will we make to move us forward in the future?

Exiting news from Brussels.🌟 Yesterday, the SESAR 3 FCA project took part in the AMPLE3 ORBUS training in Brussels. A big thank you to Serhii Yartys, David Martín Baz and Paolo Monaco for delivering such a successful training on the ORBUS tool. ORBUS is an essential part of the SESAR 3 programme and serves as a cornerstone for the architecture and modelling of projects and solutions. Through collaborative efforts such as these, the SESAR 3 projects are paving the way for innovation and efficiency in the European aviation sector. #FlightCentricATC, #Aviation, #AirTrafficControl, #AirTrafficManagement, #SESAR3JU, #HorizonEU, #cineaeu, #DigitalEuropeanSky, #EuropeanCommission, #fca, #AMPLE3

✈ Introducing the Certification Readiness Level (#CRL) Scale! We are thrilled to announce the formal release of the novel Certification Readiness Level (#CRL) scale, a core milestone of CONCERTO -a Clean Aviation project- developed in partnership with EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency. 🔍 #What is the CRL Scale? The CRL scale consists of nine main steps designed to assess the future certificability of innovative concepts of operation, business models, and products/systems. It complements the traditional Technology Readiness Level (#TRL) scale by engaging progressively with aviation authorities to facilitate future shared oversight activities. The CRL scale will be further detailed as part of the future certification methods and means of compliance under development within CONCERTO Project. 💡 #Why is it important? The scale is crucial for applicants, technology developers, and system suppliers working with EASA Innovation Services, such as Innovation Partnership Contracts (IPCs) or Pre-Application Services Contracts (PACs). Understanding and utilizing the CRL scale helps measure the maturity level of their products or Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). #Read the official announcement: https://lnkd.in/dP-jXTuf #Learn More: https://lnkd.in/dUTr_W8P Stay tuned for more updates!

🏆 Only a few hours left... ...before the winning team of the 8th DLR Design Challenge of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is announced! At the closing event in Hamburg today, the six participating teams will present their concepts to the judges. The participating teams were tasked with designing an economical and climate-friendly short-haul aircraft for use in a regional route network from the year 2050. They had the freedom to choose the passenger capacity and range of their concept to most efficiently serve a given route network. After the judges have evaluated the technical reports, the teams must now present and defend their results in this final step. Afterwards, the jury will meet one last time to determine the final winner. Aviation faces enormous economic and ecological challenges. Therefore, revolutionary new ideas and approaches are required to shape the aviation technology of the future. Since 2017, students have competed annually in the #DLR Design Challenge with their forward-looking aircraft designs. 🏅🛫 More information can be found here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eCRV7p3d #SustaiableAviation #Education #DesignChallenge #Innovation

Did you know that technologies discovered in 1924 - that's exactly 100 years ago - are being used to improve future aircraft today? The boxwing concept was first developed and enhanced in 1924 by the German aerodynamicist Ludwig Prandtl. It consists of two offset horizontal wings with vertical wings connecting their tips and shaped to give a linear distribution of lateral forces. This design is said to improve the efficiency of a number of aircraft concepts. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as you might expect, as it is difficult to create a strong and self-supporting closed wing, but our technology is constantly improving. As you can see, this has been a topic for a long time, but in the last few years the concept has become more and more relevant again. Follow us and stay tuned to find out how the Boxwing concept is linked to our current research efforts here at Universität Stuttgart – Institut für Flugzeugbau (IFB). #Aviation #AircraftDesign #Innovation
