FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF INNOVATIVE PRACTICES IN VIRTUAL TESTING METHODS FOR AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION

Project description

Raising the standards for aircraft certification and virtual testing

The aerospace industry is constantly evolving. So much has changed since aerospace engineering took flight in the late 19th and early 20th century. From a largely empirical approach, the industry now employs virtual testing analysis methods to predict aircraft structural strength, aerodynamic performance and airworthiness compliance. Regulations are constantly shifting to ensure safety and efficiency. The EU-funded FAVIT project is drafting new knowledge-based proposals to improve aerospace standards and guidelines for system suppliers and aircraft manufacturers. It will review the current standards and identify how the design and verification processes can be enhanced to accelerate the processes using technologies based on virtual testing. The project will work with key stakeholders in the aerospace industry.

Objective

FAVIT main objective is to deliver a set of knowledge-based proposals for the improvement of aerospace standards and guidelines for the system suppliers and aircraft manufacturers. FAVIT will analyse the current aerospace standards and guidelines to identify how the design and verification processes can be enhanced to accelerate the processes using the state-of-the-art technologies based in virtual testing. FAVIT Project aims to become the tool for Clean Sky 2 to obtain this complete and accurate feasibility analysis of innovative practices in virtual testing methods for aircraft certification contributing to an innovative future framework of the aerospace standards in Europe. The methodology for the development of this study will include interaction with main stakeholders from the industry and the relevant certification authorities, as well as dissemination events to promote projects results.
