Project teaser
Acronym: ACASIAS
The goal of the ACASIAS project (completed in 2020) was to develop advanced concepts for aerostructures with multifunctional capabilities by embedding sensors and antennas into typical aircraft structures (such as fuselage panels, winglets, tails), enabling to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions, overall airframe weight, cabin noise due to CROR engines, as well as maintenance costs.
The innovative technologies developed within ACASIAS relate to antenna design, composite manufacturing process, radiofrequency, and structural analysis.
