Aeronautics Research 2002 - 2006 projects

new technologies will be gained through
CESAR for selected aircraft systems and
propulsion systems.
Results
The expected achievements are:
– Proven high-fi delity aerodynamic
tools customised for use on the development
of small size aircraft,
– A catalogue of advanced airfoils,
– Advanced wing concept
– Reliable wing contamination tool
– More consistent tool chain and database
for fl ight dynamics analyses,
– Affordable and complex tool for estimation
of operational and fatigue load
– Advanced structure technologies costeffectively
tailored for small aircraft
– Reliable and relatively fast methods
and tools for strength evaluation for
category of CS 23 aircraft
– Real-time structural health monitoring
system
