Airbus is running a strategic programme called ‘Wing of the Future’ as part of the UK Aerospace Technology Institute funding initiative. The overall aim is to secure a robust set of innovative technologies at the integrated wing-level and an industrial capability to deploy those concepts in order to ensure Airbus’ programme needs related to wing can be satisfied over the next twenty years. ‘Wing Integrated Systems Technologies’ WIST is a key project within the Wing of the Future Programme and will focus on the development of novel systems architectures, equipment and installation component technologies to support high volume and low cost composite wing manufacture, assembly and equipping. In conjunction with other projects within the Wing of the Future collaborative framework, WIST will be organised in three key phases, each of two years duration. WIST includes a number of critical wing technology streams for Airbus including Fuel Systems, Ice Protection and Electrical and Optical Networks and is supported by a selection of strategic partners from respected research and industrial fields.

The FSIR project is a significant and differentiating collaboration between Airbus and the following partners and contributors: • Aston University • Atlantic Inertial Systems • AIRBUS GROUP Innovation • Eaton • Manchester University • Meggitt • Rolls Royce • Shell • UTAS • Ultra The project will focus on the development of the next generation of fuel systems and enabling technologies and capabilities. These new technologies will supply current and future Airbus aircraft with the means to improve product competitiveness, reduce costs to operators and reduce emissions in-line with key industry targets. The project will form a key component of the research within the Aerospace Technology Institute in the development of the next generation of fuel and inerting systems technologies.

The project will deliver an improved (optimised for life and efficiency), integrated balance of plant system for a sub-5kW off-grid PEM fuel cell power supply system. At the core of the improved Balance of Plant Fuel Cell Air Management System (FC-AMS) package will be the adaptation of a UK-based, innovative slow specific speed, highly forward swept turbo-compressor technology (as opposed to conventional backward swept designs). In addition, the lead partner (in collaboration with the consortium) will optimise the complete balance of plant gas/fuel management system (includes the air feed compressor, hydrogen recirculation pump, humidifier, with sensors integrated with the power conditioning feedback controls). The academic partner will perform basic research to improve performance characteristics of the low specific speed turbo-machine and transfer knowledge to the industry partners, thus enabling customer-specific, parametric design derivatives to be offered to new and different applications, developed within short development timescales and at low cost. A manufacturing partner is included to ensure we have an affordable supply chain for commercial exploitation of the FC-AMS package. Researched data and market assessment show sales in the wider fuel cell and auxillary power unit (APU) sectors of over 20,000 units by 2015 generating new jobs in the UK, over £25m revenue, with over 50% export sales. The lead partner (since EOI submission) has conducted further market research, and has established a strategic ambition to attain the position of fuel cell system integrator; this project is upheld as a lead programme towards that end.

WiTNESSS (WIreless Technologies for Novel Enhancement of Systems and Structures Serviceability) is a collaborative project which will research and de-risk wireless data transmission technology for key testing and structural health monitoring applications in aero engines, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. A consortium of key players from the UK aerospace industry, led by TRW Conekt, is to develop wireless data gathering and transmission technology for aircraft applications – with an investment of £1.6m from the Technology Strategy Board.
