Objective The migration of electronic control units from the engine fan-case to the core would be considered a huge benefit for the engine designer, reducing interconnection complexity and system weight, simplifying assembly and maintenance and providing key nacelle aerodynamic and bypass flow improvements.However, today’s engine control electronics, typically mounted on the engine fan-case, operates to a maximum temperature in the order of 125 deg C. If the control electronics were to be migrated to the engine core environment, it would be subjected to steady-state temperatures in the order of 2500C, rising to 3000C during transient engine behaviour. In this environment, today’s electronic control units would exhibit inferior performance, reduced reliability and extremely short lifetimes.The prime aim of the HiTME project is therefore to develop a safety-critical electronic system which can operate reliability when installed in the severe engine core environment. Central to this objective, will be the development, to TRL6, of electronic components and material technologies along with smart thermal and packaging designs that make the concept feasible.In order to design a product capable of withstanding the high temperatures associated with an engine core installation, whilst still maintaining performance (accuracy) and life, fundamental advancement in key technological areas will be necessary. The following areas are seen as the underpinning building blocks that will ‘enable’ a new generation product that will form the core of the research activity.• Component Enhancement (HTSOI, SiC & Passive Components)• Thermal Design (Cooling Technologies)• Material Selection (Material Technologies)• Packaging / Installation Design (Novel Packaging)• Develop Test Methods (and Analyses) Programme(s) FP7-JTI - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Joint Technology Initiatives Topic(s) JTI-CS-2010-4-SAGE-03-005 - High Temperature Electronics Call for proposal SP1-JTI-CS-2010-04 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme JTI-CS - Joint Technology Initiatives - Clean Sky Coordinator ROLLS-ROYCE CONTROLS AND DATA SERVICES LIMITED Address Moor lane DE24 8BJ Derby United Kingdom See on map Region East Midlands (England) Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Derby Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Greg Wells (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (3) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all Raytheon Systems Limited United Kingdom EU contribution € 148 763,00 Address The pinnacles, elizabeth way CM19 5BB Harlow See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Jenni Doonan (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data TWI LIMITED United Kingdom EU contribution € 231 096,00 Address Granta park great abington CB21 6AL Cambridge See on map Region East of England East Anglia Cambridgeshire CC Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Lucy Parker (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data CISSOID S.A.
