Key aerodynamic technologies for aircraft performance improvement

Objective

The goal is to provide a communication platform for all aircraft disciplines concerned directly or indirectly with aerodynamic performance improvement including design and system integration, structures, materials, manufacturing, operational and maintenance aspects. KATnet intends to bring together engineers, designer and scientists from all Concerned disciplines in order - to enhance the information/data exchange between industry and research community - to identify future RTD priorities meeting the long-term needs - to accelerate the interdisciplinary design process - to improve the flight performance of future transport aircraft.
