Development and validation of an optimised gearbox housing structural design and manufacturing process, based on additive layer manufacturing concept leading to a flight cleared demonstrator.

Design of a novel TiltRotor Drive System housing, by means of additive manufacturing process, definition of the optimised manufacturing process and construction of an appropriate number of specimens and parts to support flight clearance on the TiltRotor Demonstrator. The development of Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) materials characterised by suitable mechanical and fatigue properties, as well as the development of optimisation tools for ALM component design and structural substantiation, will be part of the activities. Please refer to the full and formal topic descriptions published in this call.
