Deliverables

Documents, reports (5)

D9.2 -Stakeholder analysis

This document will define the main groups of stakeholders and most important organisations and their respective needs, and a preliminary database of stakeholders/endusers will be compiled with engagement strategies.

D4.1 Report with full set of electrical specifications for the propulsion DC Microgrid

First deliverable of WP4

D 2.2 Report on economicsand business cases

The report presents comparison of AIRSHIP model and conventional existing competitors, i.e. transport modes. The model is based on business case and economic analysis of value chains of various alternatives.

D9.4 -Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication report

The Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication actions implemented during the project will be listed in this document, together with KPIs and results achieved.

D5.1 Control system design for the dynamic model

Taking as a departing point the dynamical model of the WIG vehicle, this deliverable will describe control strategies in order to achieve an automatic operation
