Description du projet
De nouveaux pare-brise d’aéronef pour une sécurité inégalée
Les pare-brise et les fenêtres des aéronefs sont au cœur de la sécurité aérienne, mais sont toutefois confrontés à de nombreux défis. Le projet Wimper, financé par l’Union européenne, entend répondre à ces enjeux cruciaux. Le projet, dont l’objectif principal est de développer un prototype de pare-brise et de fenêtre de nouvelle génération, s’appuie sur des technologies et des revêtements de pointe. Le consortium, composé de trois éminents partenaires de l’industrie aéronautique, rassemble des experts des domaines de la fabrication, de la conception structurelle et des essais, et en solutions de revêtement. L’objectif global est d’améliorer la résistance aux collisions avec les oiseaux, les capacités d’anti-givrage, les propriétés antibuée et les performances infrarouges, contribuant ainsi à une avancée révolutionnaire en matière de sécurité et de performances aéronautiques. Le projet développera un prototype qui surpassera les normes existantes.
Objectif
Objective of this project is the development upto the production of a prototype of a new pilot windshield and other windows with the focus on using state of the art technologies and coatings. This includes the complex interface between the airframe and the windshields. Especially, the capabilities versus improved bird-strike, anti-icing, anti-fogging and IR performance are taken into consideration.
The consortium consists of 3 partners, all centred in the aeronautic industry with the expertise to develop and manufacture structural lightweight designs. Everyone is an expert on its main field. KRD Sicherheitstechnik GmbH (KRD) is a leading manufacturer of windshields and windows, so far mainly for ground transports (e.g. forestry harvesters, vessels, sport cars) but has contributed with prototypes for helicopter applications as well. Within their product portfolio you can find coated laminated car windshields with heating systems, usable for aeronautic applications for de-icing or de-fogging, too. The coating development for these applications as well as for scratch resistance is done at KRD premises.
The Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), Institute of Structures and Design has the excellence in the design of structural parts as well as the ability to perform simulations and tests to optimize the engineered parts concerning the structural behaviour, particularly under crash and impact loading. The institute will assist in the definition of testing methods and will perform testing sequences and bird-strike tests to evaluate the solutions. The DLR has developed a dummy bird, which will be evaluated during this project compared to real bird.
The University of Stuttgart, Institut für Flugzeugbau (USTUTT) is the third partner and specialized in the production and development of structural fibre reinforced parts and their testing against specifications and life cycle analysis. The USTUTT has capacities and expertise in finding accurate coating solutions.
