Mar 4, Conventional airframes are reaching the limits of efficiency.
The mechanical structure of an aircraft is known as the airframe. This structure is typically considered to include the fuselage, undercarriage, empennage and. Airframe is a novel by the American writer Michael Crichton, first published in , in hardcover, by Knopf and then in , as a paperback, by Ballantine.
Radical new directions have to be taken to bring about the dramatic weight and emissions reductions - and meet overall sustainability targets - that are needed to comply with ACARE and Flightpath Goals. Strength comes from daring to be different, and the exploratory nature of the technology streams to be pursued under Clean Sky 2's Airframe ITD strategically spreads that dare across a wide variety of potential applications in wing, fuselage and empennage science.
It is virtually impossible to separate the structures design effort from the materials and manufacturing development effort. AFS addressing aircraft structural casting manufacturing questions. The high temperature brazing-diffusion process and ''Stresskin'' concepts which are based on resistance-welding of titanium core to titanium skin can provide metallurgically bonded honeycomb-sandwich structure as well, although further heat treating in a vacuum furnace or retort would be needed to meet the high mechanical-property requirements of HSCT airframe structures. Some were produced as single copies or in small quantity such as the Spirit of St. Sign in or create an account to earn ZillaCash on your next purchase with us. However, the ability to predict the thermomechanical response of new structural concepts accurately is just as important to the overall success of the HSR Program.
The way that aircraft are made will need to change, and the Airframe ITD is at the heart of that transition. If Europe takes the lead in innovative airframe design it will enhance its leadership position in the aeronautical market for decades to come. The Clean Sky 2 initiative, in developing new airframe technologies, has "first mover advantage". Have a look at the latest editions of our monthly newsletter.

Noise Shielding, Embedded engines, Innovative Overall Configurations Advanced Laminarity This Technology Stream is designed to make further progress on drag reduction which will be applied to major drag contributors, especially the nacelles and wings.
High Speed Airframe The High Speed Technology Stream will focus on the fuselage and wing, enabling better aircraft performance and quality of delivered mobility services. Novel Control This will introduce innovative control systems and strategies to make gains in overall aircraft efficiency.
Novel Travel Experience This Technology Stream will investigate new cabin concepts including layout and passenger-oriented equipment and systems as a key enabler of product differentiation, having an immediate and direct physical impact on the traveler, with potential in terms of weight saving and eco-compliance.
Next Generation Optimised Wing The Next Generation Optimised Wing Technology Stream will lead to progress in the aero-efficiency and to better, more durable, affordable and lighter-weight wing structures through the design, build and ground testing of innovative wing structures. Optimised High Lift Configurations This Technology Stream will progress the aero-efficiency of wing, engine mounting and nacelle integration for aircraft that serve local airports, thanks to excellent field performance. Advanced Integrated Structures The Advanced Integrated Structure Technology Stream will optimise the integration of systems in the airframe along with the validation of important structural advances, thereby boosting production efficiency and manufacture of aircraft structures.
Advanced Fuselage to introduce innovation in fuselage shapes and structures This Technology Stream will include cockpit and cabins, with new concepts of fuselage to be introduced to support future aircraft and rotorcraft. Figures PDF. Tables PDF.
