The SIMLIGHT project is concerned with the computational electromagnetic (CEM) simulation of the effects of lightning strikes on the fully connected aircraft, and the impact on the design, performance, compatibility, compliance and certification of aircraft structures, integrated sensors and components. Modern aircraft contain an ever-increasing array of ...

The DAWS project will explore and evaluate a range of innovative wing concepts (including the use of folding wing tips to allow for greater wing span), needed to significantly improve the performance of future generations of commercial aircraft. With ever increasing awareness of environmental concerns, reducing environmental impact in a commercially susta...

Designing products collaboratively and exploiting new technologies in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) requires novel approaches to the ways engineering teams must work. In the COLIBRI project we will explore and develop new tools that exploit advances in AI/ML to improve and speed up the collaborative design environment f...

The project is concerned with the computational electromagnetic (CEM) analysis of the performance, compatibility, compliance and certification of integrated sensors and electronic components within the connected aircraft

Geometry is at the heart of all aerodynamic and mechanical design processes and tools. The creation, manipulation and discretisation of geometry has become the bottle neck in design-simulation iteration time and therefore is a limiting factor in our ability to reduce time to market. Increasing competitive, environmental and commercial pressures are demand...

UK aerospace companies rely heavily on numerical simulation, both to test designs in contexts that would not be physically practical, and as the most efficient way of reducing risk and quantifying design performance. However, preparing a geometric model for simulation is still frequently a manual and labour-intensive activity. The R&D work carried out by ...

The Integrated Computational Electromangetics & Novel Integration Technologies (ICE NITE) programme intends to find improved means, from an electromagnetic resilience point of view, for integrating systems into aircraft or other platforms (such as cars or trains), over the currently used un-organised bundles of cables tied into looms. A structured cable a...

One of the most fundamental properties affecting the aerodynamic performance of a body is its shape. With progressively increasing demands for performance, the need to explore and optimise the performance of novel airframe shapes rapidly and with robust, efficient processes is becoming increasingly important. This poses significant challenges for the ways...
