HICLASS is a project to enable the delivery of the most complex software-intensive, safe and cyber-secure systems in the world. It is a strategic initiative to drive new technologies and best-practice throughout the UK aerospace supply chain, enabling the UK to affordably develop systems for the growing aircraft and avionics market expected over the next ...

The WSSI project complements several existing projects which have already been launched under the Wing of the Future portfolio. With respect to the structural and industrial projects such as HiBoX and IFeD, WSSI will deliver the systems installation technologies which integrate with and enable the structural build concepts. In terms of complementary syste...

When polymer powders are selectively laser sintered (SLS), they have a microstructure that contains a significant amount of porosity conferring inferior mechanical properties – particularly elongation and toughness compared to conventionally processed materials such as injection mouldings or extrusions. We have shown that for conventional Nylon PA12 SLS p...

The objective of this 2.5 yr long project is to demonstrate the clear competitive advantages of the use of Additive Layer Manufacturing (sometimes known as 3D Printing) in the manufacture of production metal and polyamide components. The project will demonstrate that ALM is now a reliable and potent production technology which can be included in the gamut...

SENTIENT (SENsors To Inform & Enable wireless NeTworks) aims to advance aircraft structural health management (SHM) using wireless sensor hetworks, WSN. Its key innovations are:(1)Small, light, low cost, low power demand sensors, (2) Quick and flexible installation, (3) More sensors in places not practical for wired installation. The main project objectiv...
