Saab received Innovation Award from Airbus

Inlägg av Multi use, Internationalisering, Innovair, Saab Aeronautics, Vinnova, Övrigt

Saab has received an Innovation Award from Airbus in recognition of its Overheat Detection System (OHDS) which was selected for the Airbus A350. The system consists of a fiber optic sensing line placed near the engines and bleed air ducts and includes optical integrators and processing hardware and software for collecting data and control.

The OHDS system was originally developed as part of the Gripen program and is now being further developed in international programmes also for other applications like fire warnings.

UK-Sweden Aerospace Call 2020 – projects funded

Inlägg av Internationalisering, Innovair, GKN Aerospace, Saab Aeronautics, Vinnova

The projects resulting from the UK-Sweden joint Aerospace Call 2020 are listed below:

Collaborative projects in aeronautics funded through the Innovair/ATI call:

FIBRESENSE
FibreSense is a collaborative research led by Rolls-Royce with Saab as the key collaborator. The project will develop on-engine sensing capability using novel fibre-optic technologies, enabling much higher resolution data compared to present technologies. It will significantly improve engine diagnostics, improving aircraft availability.

COMPASS
The COMPASS project will develop a new lightweight, energy efficient and cost-efficient solution for communication sensors and is a collaboration between Microchip and the Compound Semiconductor Catapult in the UK and Saab in Sweden. Small, lightweight sensors at lower cost could enable wide spread adoption of detect and avoid radars and imaging landing radars for all weather landings for commercial airplanes, resulting in safer flights and reduced energy consumption.

DEMAND-REPAIR
The DEMAND-REPAIR project will be led by GKN Sweden and will involve Sweden’s University West in Trollhättan and Phoenix scientific and TWI in the UK. The project will explore novel advanced manufacturing technologies and innovative titanium powders to repair the next generation of aero-engine components. Using these techniques to repair components will create drastic improvements to the sustainability of the industry, reducing raw material requirements and manufacturing efficiencies and extending the lifespan and maintenance of aircraft.

SIMLIGHT
The SIMLIGHT project, led by the ESI Group in Sweden and including Saab and the International technegroup in the UK will study the computational electromagnetic (CEM) simulation of the effects of lightning strikes on the fully connected aircraft. The project will enable design optimisation and reduced size, weight and increased efficiency of airborne electronics, as well as optimising electromagnetic compatibility and interference, improving the operational performance of aircraft and on board experience for passengers.

Open VISTA
The open Vista project is led by Saab in Sweden with GE Cheltenham as collaborators.  The project will evaluate the integration of Saab’s 3-D Terrain database and 3-D Synthetic Vision System into GE’s Open Flight Deck Architecture for both the commercial and military aerospace market. The project will significantly improve advanced avionics systems and flight decks, including applications for Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS), Terrain Awareness Warning Systems (TAWS) and digital moving maps. The technology will be an enabler to accelerating the progression of cockpit avionics and therefore safer operations. Additionally, such technology is likely to benefit the airlines in operations and therefore lower fuel burn by optimising approach paths into airports.

AMASING IMC
The project, led by Renishaw in the UK and with GKN Sweden as partners will help develop the technology required to build large structures in a laser powder bed fusion machine, making it possible to produce larger components at a higher deposition rate. This will enable mass savings to be made for future generations of parts and also whole-life emissions and cost savings.

Collaborative project in aeronautics funded through Vinnova/ ATI:

HEPBAS
This project is led by Electroflight in the UK, with Baines Simmons and Sweden’s Heart Aerospace and research institute RISE as collaborators. It will research, develop, and ground test an innovative prototype high-energy propulsion battery system for electric aircraft. This will help to accelerate the transition of short-haul air travel to electric propulsion.

 

Innovairs årskonferens 2020

Inlägg av Akademi/SARC, Innovair, GKN Aerospace, Saab Aeronautics, Arenor/SMF, Vinnova, Övrigt

Innovairs årskonferens 2020 genomfördes 29 oktober. Det virtuella formatet lockade många fler deltagare än vanligt. Förutom de stående programpunkterna som exempelvis rapporter om Innovairs och NFFP:s utveckling, internationell samverkan, de olika aktörsgrupperingarnas verksamheter och internationaliseringen innehöll årets konferens en speciell presentation från Axel Krein, Clean Skys Executive Director, om Clean Skys program för hållbart flyg.

Kreins medverkan lyfts fram i senaste numret av Clean Sky E-News som också innehåller ett avsnitt om ”Clean Sky and Sweden: Delivering climate-neutral aviation together”. I denna text listas många av de aktiviteter och etableringar som Innovair varit med om att genomföra för att främja flygteknisk innovation i Sverige, och texten summerar Sveriges medverkan i Clean Sky på ett positivt och framåtblickande sätt.

Programmet för årskonferensen finns här.

Centrum för Hållbar Luftfart (CSA) workshop 12 oktober

Vi välkomnar er och eventuellt andra intresserade i er organisation till den årliga Workshopen anordnad av Centrum för Hållbar Luftfart (CSA). Tidpunkten är den 12 oktober kl 10-17 och platsen blir på Zoom.

Programmet kan laddas ner HÄR och finns också på CSA nya hemsida (https://www.kth.se/csa).

Bland annat kommer Dr Delia Dimitru från Metropolitan University samt John Hansman från  AeroAstro- Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) att presentera.

Det går givetvis bra att koppla in på valfri del av Workshopen utan att anmäla intresse innan men vi är tacksamma ifall ni skickar ett kort meddelande till Karl Bolin (kbolin@kth.se) för att vi ska veta antal närvarande.

Med vänliga hälsningar från CSAs ledningsgrupp/
Mats Åbom – föreståndare,
Pernilla Ulfvengren – vice-föreståndare ,
Evelyn Otero – vice-föreståndare,
Karl Bolin – vice-föreståndare
