Friendly aircraft cabin environment

Objective

The Proposal is focused to improve Environmental Comfort in the aircraft cabin and cockpit of the future European turbofan aircraft. It address the Environmental Comfort parameters affecting noise, vibration and air-quality technology, and includes effects on/from multimedia utilization. Composite fuselage structural-acoustic behaviors, considered the more important to be treated within the acoustic area, will be studied utilizing the TANGO and FUBACOMB composite fuselage barrels, addressed to civil turbofan application. The Environmental Cabin Comfort issues address any turbofan aircraft from business-jet to large civil transport. The activity has been planned under the "aircraft research activity strategy" provided by the European Industry.
It has been split in two steps:
- One focused on the selection of the more promising technology concepts for comfort achievements.
- The second addressing integration and validation of the selected concepts by appropriate Technology Platforms experimentation. An extrapolation of results to real aircraft environment in flight will be done supported by the large experience of the air framer partners.
