Power optimised aircraft

Objective

The growth in airline customer needs has resulted in a major problem: an increase in power consumption. Current equipment systems which supply, generate, distribute, transmit and consume this power cause a second major problem: At aircraft level, the result of incremental steps in subsystem development is an inefficient use of on-board power. The objective of POA is to make available the capabilities necessary to provide equipment for next generation aircraft. POA will validate, at aircraft level and both quantitatively and qualitatively, the ability of alternative equipment systems to reduce the consumption of non-propulsive power. This will be done through reductions in peak and total non-propulsive power, fuel consumption, weight and maintenance costs. At the same time POA will validate an increase in reliability and no increase in production costs, both at aircraft level. To provide the validation, aircraft representative testing on a Virtual Iron Bird, an Engine Systems Rig and an Aircraft Systems Rig will be performed. This will provide the industry with capabilities, validated equipment, new validation platforms and new standards for next generation equipment technologies, defining a technological breakthrough.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

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.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
