Description du projet
Une trajectoire de vol pour une innovation plus rapide
Le développement d’un avion est un processus qui prend du temps et requiert d’importants capitaux. Il est essentiel de pouvoir réduire le délai de mise sur le marché et d’éliminer la nécessité de disposer de plusieurs bancs d’essai multifonctionnels. Dans ce contexte, le projet AMTRAS, financé par l’UE dans le cadre de Clean Sky 2, proposera des bancs d’essai multifonctionnels innovants dotés d’instruments très performants, d’une capacité multiformat, et de méthodes de tests avancées. En répondant au besoin pressant de cycles d’intégration technologique plus courts sur le marché de l’aviation, le système AMTRAS apportera souplesse, précision et efficacité dans les processus de conception, d’essai, de validation, de certification et de fabrication. Globalement, le projet contribuera à maintenir et à étendre le leadership industriel dans le domaine de l’aviation. Ce projet novateur inaugurera un secteur de l’aviation plus souple et plus efficace, en révolutionnant la manière de répondre aux exigences du marché en matière d’innovation rapide.
Objectif
CleanSky2 has addressed the development of new aircraft concepts and architectures including new materials and manufacturing. In this respect, Adaptive Multifunctional Test Rigs for Aeronautical Structures (AMTRAS project) will contribute to the CleanSky2 objectives with the development of innovative multifunctional Test Rigs, with high performance instrumentation and multishape capability ready to test structural behaviour of new materials (panels) and full-scale demonstrators (Tail unit)
To achieve flexibility with multiaxiality and asynchronous loading conditions, AMTRAS will be built by:
• A flexible parallel system based on hydraulic actuators.
• Machine Vision based Non-contact deformation monitoring and measurement system
• Non-Destructive Testing based on IR Thermography for the detection of structural defects
The flexibility and accuracy provided by AMTRAS Test Rigs will contribute to time-to-market minimization, reducing the time span from concept to validated design. This is line with the topic JTI-CS2-2016-CPF03-AIR-02-22 since preparation and assembly of different multifunctional testing benches will no longer be necessary. In addition, AMTRAS contributes to one of the targeted achievements for defined in Challenge 2 “Maintaining and extending industrial leadership” FlightPath 2050 Goals in the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) of ACARE (Advisory Council for Aviation Research and Innovation in Europe). According to the SRIA, innovation in aviation is complex, capital intensive and takes time, typically, 15 years can elapse between the generation of a concept and technology being fully developed for a specific application on the next generation of air vehicles. However, market demands shorter cycles of new technology integration, therefore greater efficiency in processes (design, test, validation, certification, manufacture) is demanded to facilitate faster and more frequent introduction of innovations addressing market needs.
