bluShift Aerospace is doing some groundbreaking work in developing eco-friendly, bio-derived rocket fuel, enabling students and researchers to do micro-gravity research in space, and paving the way for a greener approach to space exploration. These innovations are truly exciting, and I’m proud of how bluShift is leveraging Siemens' advanced digital tools to bring this vision to life, the same tools used by the top 12 global aerospace and defense companies. By utilizing Siemens’ cutting-edge simulation and design software within the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, bluShift is optimizing every aspect of their rocket development process. From design to simulation to manufacturing, engineers at bluShift use NX to easily work with large, complex models and account for a variety of external conditions including extreme cold and high heat while maintaining a lightweight design. They are even looking ahead to include wire routing, plumbing and other mechanical functions as the rocket designs advance. This collaboration between bluShift and Siemens is a powerful example of how technology can drive cost-effective and sustainable innovation. Sustainability is an integral part of what we do at Siemens, and it is exciting to see startups like bluShift not only reducing the carbon footprint of space missions but setting new standards for the entire aerospace industry. #Sustainability #Space #Innovation #Aerospace #DigitalTransformation  https://lnkd.in/gaA2sdpa

🚀 Introducing Our New Guidelines for Integrated Propulsion Design! 🚀 We are thrilled to announce the publication of a set of Guidelines for Best Design Practices in Integrated Propulsion Systems! These guidelines, developed by the Consortium of the EU-funded project ENODISE, aim to reduce the acoustic impact of integrating propulsion systems with aircraft designs. By prioritizing multidisciplinary design strategies and considering acoustic effects early in the design process, we can pave the way for quieter, more efficient aircraft. 💡 Join us in advancing aviation technology!

Efforts by Europe’s Clean Aviation research program to mature technologies for hydrogen-powered aircraft are accelerating with the launch of an MTU Aero Engines-led project targeting development of a fuel cell propulsion system for regional aircraft that can enter into service in 2035. Hydrogen-Electric-Zero-Emission-Propulsion-System (#HEROPS) will build on MTU and DLR's Flying Fuel Cell (FFC) technology project. Under the leadership of MTU, the partners initially want to build a Herops Ground Demonstrator with a drive capacity of 1.2 MW over a period of three years. In addition, the feasibility of the new, groundbreaking technologies is to be proven and the high scalability to capacities between 2 and 4 MW on the basis of a modular drive architecture is to be demonstrated. https://lnkd.in/ewt6XPBf https://lnkd.in/e9XWXAAW #sustainableaviation #hydrogen #cleanaviation

Back to the future? Four ways aerospace innovations are driving cross-sector innovation Although the aerospace industry hasn’t quite delivered the vision of the future seen in those memorable pre-2000s movies – we’re still waiting for those self-lacing trainers, hoverboards and flying cars – it has turned science fiction into technological reality in many other ways. With advances in materials science, propulsion systems, and the arrival of artificial intelligence, the aerospace sector is pushing the boundaries of what was once deemed impossible. In this piece Jeff Hoyle, EVP Global Aero, Space and Defence and UK MD at Expleo explores four ways in which innovations from aerospace’s past are being adopted as the future in other sectors.

✈ [SUSTAINABLE AVIATION] The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impact of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers for decarbonizing the sector. Initially designed for research and training purposes, it now serves as a multidisciplinary platform for experts and decision-makers from institutions, industry, and associations. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), a collaborative research institute initiated by Laurent Joly, head of research for sustainable aviation, which aims to address the transition to #lowcarbon #aviation in all its complexity. By playing on the sector’s transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario simulation platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was soon integrated into training programs: first as part of the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then as part of continuing education programs. To see the bigger picture, the two researchers added a socio-economic dimension to their tool (via a thesis conducted by Antoine Salgas, a doctoral student on the project, in partnership with TBS Education), and subsequently, a traffic and emissions inventory, enabling the analyses made with AeroMAPS to be partitioned and regionalized: the AeroSCOPE tool, created as part of a collaboration with the Dutch university Delft University of Technology. Today, AeroMAPS' comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach is a decision-making aid for the entire aeronautics ecosystem, as well as for institutional, industrial and association decision-makers. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the public debate on the place of aviation in our society! 🔎 Discover AeroMAPS in details 👉 https://swll.to/eA8WQ6O
