Descripción del proyecto
Nuevos parabrisas de avión para una seguridad inigualable
Los parabrisas y las ventanillas de los aviones están a la vanguardia de la seguridad aérea, pero se enfrentan a numerosos retos. El equipo del proyecto Wimper, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende dar respuesta a estos problemas críticos. Con el objetivo principal de desarrollar un prototipo de parabrisas y ventanillas de próxima generación, el equipo del proyecto se centra en aprovechar tecnologías y revestimientos de vanguardia. El consorcio, formado por tres destacados socios de la industria aeronáutica, reúne una gran experiencia en materia de fabricación, diseño estructural y ensayos, así como en soluciones de revestimiento. El objetivo general es mejorar la resistencia a los choques con aves, la capacidad antihielo, las propiedades antivaho y el rendimiento en infrarrojos, lo que sentará las bases para un avance transformador en la seguridad y el rendimiento de la aviación. En el proyecto se creará un prototipo que supere las normas existentes.
Objetivo
Objective of this project is the development upto the production of a prototype of a new pilot windshield and other windows with the focus on using state of the art technologies and coatings. This includes the complex interface between the airframe and the windshields. Especially, the capabilities versus improved bird-strike, anti-icing, anti-fogging and IR performance are taken into consideration.
The consortium consists of 3 partners, all centred in the aeronautic industry with the expertise to develop and manufacture structural lightweight designs. Everyone is an expert on its main field. KRD Sicherheitstechnik GmbH (KRD) is a leading manufacturer of windshields and windows, so far mainly for ground transports (e.g. forestry harvesters, vessels, sport cars) but has contributed with prototypes for helicopter applications as well. Within their product portfolio you can find coated laminated car windshields with heating systems, usable for aeronautic applications for de-icing or de-fogging, too. The coating development for these applications as well as for scratch resistance is done at KRD premises.
The Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), Institute of Structures and Design has the excellence in the design of structural parts as well as the ability to perform simulations and tests to optimize the engineered parts concerning the structural behaviour, particularly under crash and impact loading. The institute will assist in the definition of testing methods and will perform testing sequences and bird-strike tests to evaluate the solutions. The DLR has developed a dummy bird, which will be evaluated during this project compared to real bird.
The University of Stuttgart, Institut für Flugzeugbau (USTUTT) is the third partner and specialized in the production and development of structural fibre reinforced parts and their testing against specifications and life cycle analysis. The USTUTT has capacities and expertise in finding accurate coating solutions.
