OUTCOME - “Out of Autoclave Composite Manufacturing, Wing and Tail Unit Components and Multifunctional Design”

OUTCOME – “OUT of Autoclave COMpositE Manufacturing, Wing and Tail Unit Components and Multifunctional Design”, la propuesta de colaboración del Tier 1 Aernnova y los principales 4 Centros Tecnológicos españoles sin ánimo de lucro del sector aeronáutico (CTA, CATEC, FIDAMC y Tecnalia), ha sido seleccionada para participar como Core Partner en el nuevo JTI Clean Sky 2, dentro del Horizonte 2020.

Las actividades de OUTCOME han comenzado en Julio de 2015, y se dirigirán a proporcionar y aumentar la disponibilidad comercial de tecnología punta para estructuras aeronáuticas con sistemas integrados, centrándose especialmente en tecnologías de fabricación de material compuesto fuera de autoclave.

OUTCOME cubrirá completamente la cadena de valor, proporcionando capacidades, desde TRLs bajos a altos, para desarrollar, diseñar, fabricar, ensayar y realizar ensamblajes parciales de diferentes componentes estructurales ligeros para demostradores “on-ground” y “in-flight” del ala del Regional Aircraft FTB2 y del LifeRCraft tail unit.

CTA tiene previsto el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías de ensayo en los ámbitos de aplicación de cargas, utillaje inteligente e inspección sin contacto, que introducirá en los correspondientes ensayos de certificación en tierra del Outer External Wing Upper Skin, External Wing Leading Edge y del Tail Boom.

OUTCOME – “OUT of Autoclave COMpositE Manufacturing, Wing and Tail Unit Components and Multifunctional Design”, the joint proposal of the Tier 1 Aernnova and the main four private non-profit Spanish Aeronautical Technology Centres (CTA, CATEC, FIDAMC and Tecnalia), has been selected as Core Partners in the new aeronautical JTI Clean Sky 2, within the Horizon 2020.

OUTCOME activities have been launched in July 2015, and will aim towards providing and speeding up commercial availability of leading edge technologies for aeronautical structures with systems integrated, with special focus on composite technologies.

OUTCOME will cover the full value chain, providing capabilities, from low to high Technology Readiness Levels, for developing, designing, manufacturing, testing and partially assembling different lightweight structural components of Regional Aircraft FTB2 wing and LifeRCraft tail unit “on-ground” and “in-flight” demonstrators.

CTA will develop new testing technologies at load application, intelligent tooling and non-contact inspection fields. These developments will be applied at Outer External Wing Upper Skin, External Wing Leading Edge and Tail Boom certification “on-ground” tests.
