EXAELIA will seek collaboration with a number of running, but also emerging projects under HEU and CA which will likely involve new a/c configurations and FTB technologies. TUD/NLR also envision links with running Dutch national projects (Aviation in Transition; Novel high-performance composite materials for advanced movables). Synergies will be fruitful regarding common frameworks to assess FTBs.
| Project | Project Description/ Relation with EXAELIA |
|---|---|
| MINIMAL | MInimum enviroNmental IMpact ultra-efficient cores for Aircraft propulsion : MINIMAL is significantly contributing to the development of methods & know-how related to novel architectures (CCE) & components (FOP), to heat management systems (incl. LH₂) and to engines’ integration on commercial a/c. |
| HOPE | Hydrogen Optimized multi-fuel Propulsion system for clean and silEnt aircraft : HOPE will deliver an integrated aircraft propulsion system comprising two multi-fuel (kerosene/sustainable aviation fuel+hydrogen) UHBR turbofan engines and a fuel cell based auxiliary propulsion and power unit driving an aft BLI propulsor based on tube-wing a/c configuration design and optimization of innovative multi-fuel propulsion concept and BLI. |
| IMPACT MONITOR & IMPACT MONITOR 2 | Impact Monitor : Holistic impact assessment framework & toolbox supporting science-based informed decisions for technology and policy assessment of the environmental, economic, and societal impact of European aviation R&I. Specifically: assessments will focus on GHG emissions & noise, to which EXAELIA can propose its LR a/c concepts. |
