Project description
An integrated approach to the design of active-controlled aircraft wings
The EU-funded FLiPASED project aims to revolutionise aircraft wings, developing and testing a so-called active-controlled wing design. Such a wing shape-changing concept can decrease the negative impact of gusts on the aerodynamic performance by 20 % and cut down fuel consumption by 10 %. Furthermore, it can reduce the number of distinct models used during the aircraft development and certification process by 50 %. The project will couple aerodynamics, structural design, aeroelastic and control design models in one integrated toolchain to optimise the wing design. The tools will be validated on a safe and affordable experimental platform. The experimental results along with the design requirements will be publicly available.
