🌟 Bauhaus Luftfahrt: Illuminating the Skies with Sustainable Solutions! ✈️🌍 This #MINIMALMonday, let's look into the impactful role of Bauhaus Luftfahrt, Germany's aviation think tank. Founded with a mission for aerospace research, Bauhaus Luftfahrt has evolved into a hub of aeronautical expertise. As a pioneer in sustainable aviation solutions and a focus on major societal and ecological challenges, Bauhaus Luftfahrt is a key player in shaping the future of air transport. ⚙️ Role in MINIMAL project: Bauhaus Luftfahrt is not just envisioning the future; it's actively shaping it through its participation in the #MINIMAL_EU project. As a recognized aeronautics research institute, Bauhaus Luftfahrt will contribute to feasibility studies, performance models, combustion research, and climate impact assessments. As a bridge builder between science, industry, and policy, Bauhaus Luftfahrt contributes its scientific insights to the project, supporting strategic decision-making and envisioning long-term options for sustainable and climate-neutral air transport. 🛫 #SustainableAviation #climateneutrality #HorizonEU #UKRI

⏰ Last chance to register for the EXACT Public Days: In less than five (!) days registration will close! 🛬 You should attend if you are interested to hear and discuss about the latest findings, aircraft configurations and technologies researched in our EXACT projects. Our institute is leading EXACT, which is the largest and most comprehensive aviation research study ever conducted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) - and probably one of the world’s largest holistic studies on aircraft concepts in a sustainable air transport system! Can the air transport of the future be economical and at the same time drastically reduce its impact on the climate? With the right technologies, it can - provided they are economical and in harmony with the overall aviation system (global flight routes, energy sources, airport and energy infrastructure, life cycle, etc.). 20 participating institutes analysed and compared different technologies (hydrogen, batteries, SAF, etc.)  - and designed future aircraft configurations (concept level) within this project. The most promising aircraft configurations from EXACT will now be investigated further and more detailed in the second EXACT project. We are looking forward to seeing and discussing with you on 7 and 8 May 2024 in Hamburg Finkenwerder (ZAL)! The event is free of charge and open to experts, the press and the interested public. For more information and to register (until 31 March 2024!), please go on the event's site: https://lnkd.in/e6zFW7bN If you are a member of the press and interested in attending a press briefing on 8 May, please also contact kristina.welge@dlr.de. #EXACT #sustainableaviation #reducingclimateimpact #research #dlr

🏆 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

Ascend team members Stephen Roebuck and Ashraf Miah are attending the Sustainable Hangar of the Future for 2050 [1] conference at Cranfield University on Thursday 23rd May. This conference will explore the fast-developing area of sustainable hangar technology with a focus on achieving Net Zero 2050. The conference rightly notes that “[h]angar (and ramp) operations can have a major impact on operational performance – for example, aircraft collision damage, energy usage, speed of turnaround, waste management, continued use of paper-based systems, no fault found.” At Ascend Solutions we have deep aviation knowledge and between us have tackled the same issues individually from our respective former employers of Lufthansa Technik, Airbus and Rolls-Royce. Today, we can combine that experience with the application of modern AI Driven Automation to address many of the challenges highlighted in this conference. It is a sad reality that much of the data that could be used to tackle these issues is still (as the conference agenda highlights) is stuck in paper form or equivalent paper form such as PDF; electronic but still not in an easy machine readable format. Fortunately, we seeing a shift to tackle these issues from companies such as ourselves. If you’d like to learn a bit more about what we can do in this area then please say “Hello!” at the conference or send us a message. Full conference details and if you’d like to join us are available at the Royal Aeronautical Society website [2]. Are you also attending? Leave a comment.
