 JTI Clean Sky, in cooperation with EASN and
Warsaw University of Technology is organising a
2-day event in Warsaw, Poland, aimed at presenting the current results of
JTI and informing the participants about the ways and opportunities to get
involved in the Clean Sky initiative in view of the JTI 10th call for
proposals. Participants from Eastern Europe will also have the
opportunity to present their technical capabilities and background related
to JTI.

 The Politecnico
di Torino is organising a workshop on
"Unmanned Aerial Systems: civilian applications and technology
challenges". The workshop is co-chaired by Politecnico
di Torino, Alenia Aeronautica and EASN and is planned for November
9th and 10th, 2011.
The workshop aims at
discussing the different civilian applications of UAS and the associated
technological challenges. More information about the event is available here
 EC officers Remy Denos
and Dietrich Knoerzer offered an interview to
EASN, aiming to inform about the new instrument to be introduced in the
2012 call for proposals, namely the Level 0 projects.

 Final
workshop of AERO-UKRAINE project "Ukrainian Capabilities in Aerospace
Science and Engineering" was held at National Aerospace University
"KhAI" (Kharkiv,
Ukraine) attracting about 70 participants from Ukrainian institutions, as
also ACARE, DLR, and EASN experts.
FP7 Aero-Ukraine project (CSA) significantly increased
interest of key Ukrainian aeronautic players to participate in FP7 AAT
Calls. Report and brochure on Ukrainian aeronautic R&D capabilities was
produced and published at project web-site. Workshops presentations and
several project ideas for cooperation with EU aeronautic community are
available at http://www.aero-ukraine.eu. Check project web site for updated info.
Three calls related to Aeronautics and Air
Transport (AAT) have been published on July 20th. For information about
each of these calls click the respective links.
- AAT-2012-RTD-L0: The new instrument intdoduced by the EC, aiming at upstream and
innovative ideas related to aeronautics. Deadline October 25th 2011.
- AAT-2012-RTD-1: Call for L1 and L2 projects. Deadline December 1st 2011.
- AAT-2012-RTD-Japan: Coordinated call with Japan on specific
topics. Deadline December
1st 2011.

endorsed projects: Latest achievents

 After the
first six months the application scenarios of prime importance for the
aircraft manufacturers have been defined. A first comprehensive set of
samples has been produced with defined contaminations/defects according to
the application scenarios and characterized by reference methods.
The samples are now being investigated by
almost 20 different non-destructive testing methods in order to evaluate
their general suitability to detect specific contaminations/defects. First
results have shown the potential of the methods as well as some limitations
and the need for adaptation of the different NDT techniques to the specific
measurement tasks (for more information see www.encomb.eu).
 The INMA
project aims to develop innovative manufacturing techniques to fabricate
complex Ti sheet aerocomponents. These techniques
will be based on the use of asymmetric incremental sheet forming (AISF),
lean heating concepts and knowledge-based (KB) techniques. The project was
launched in September 2010 and it is coordinated by Tecnalia
(www.tecnalia.com).
Up to date, three study
cases have been defined (2 for aircraft, 1 for engine applications) for the
development of AISF of Ti. These study cases will also support FE modeling
activities. In parallel, a couple of lean heating methods for hot AISF
sheet forming and a KB process model to avoid the use of support die are
being implemented.

 Computer Aided Optical method for the
Fatigue Life prediction, Non-contact interference three-dimensional
profiler "Micron-alpha" and Nanotester
"Micron-gamma" have been developed at "Aircraft Strength and Fatigue Testing Laboratory" lab of the National Aviation
University.
 Electrodeposited
metal matrix composite coatings to improve wear resistance and lubrication
have been developed at the Surface Finishing department of CIDETEC Research
Centre.

 Low cost
pressure sensors have been integrated in fiber-composite structures, and
used as an efficient tool for the monitorization
of the impacts and the analysis of the damage that has been occurred. The
work was performed in collaboration between CIDETEC-IK4 and Fraunhofer-LBF.
