Scaled Test Aircraft Preparation and Qualification

Objective

To reduce CO2, Fuel Burn, NOx and noise in aeronautics, while coping with the mobility demands of its citizens, but also to tackle the competition with USA, the European community needs new radical Large Passenger Aircraft configurations. These configurations incorporate vast innovations in the field of fuselage, wing design, and hybrid-electric propulsion. The Scaled Test Aircraft Preparation & Qualification (SCALAiR) project will deliver a flexible, modular, reconfigurable, cost-effective, and easy to operate scale model aircraft, being the enabler towards dynamically scaled model aircraft research. This platform provides low-cost and low-risk validation of advanced aircraft achieving the ultimate Flightpath 2050 challenges. This proposal is fully realised by a unique proposer (NLR), gathering robust and proven expertise. The project activities start with the overhaul, updates, required modifications and qualification of the scaled aircraft of FP6’s NACRE project. Afterwards, new components or an entirely new scaled aircraft will be developed, in close coordination with the partners of CS2’s LPA WP 1.3. As such, this 48 months-long, 3.6MEuro valued action does not only align the strategies between dispersed institutions of our continent, but also spreads the knowledge of a potential best practice in aeronautical development, with various potential applications: Scale models are expected to serve as innovation catalysts, taking a globally leading role.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
