The ASTIB project, started in 2018 in collaboration with Leonardo, aims to contribute to the generation of new technological products to be implemented in future Green Regional Aircraft (GRA). The main aim of the project is to support the improvement of the Technological Readiness Level up to TRL 5-6 for a considerable number of electronic devices considered of critical importance for the future GRA. Specifically, the project ...

The AMULET project (Advanced Control Unit for Morphing Leading Edge Management) aims to design and develop a control system for the Morphing Leading Edge that has innovative features such as: small size and low weight smart control algorithms advanced control laws innovative health monitoring strategies modular software smart power management To achieve these objectives, the AMULET project...

The SWING Project (Smart WIng for New Generation of UAVs for civil use) aims to study composite materials, processes for composite materials, design methodologies for composite structures, actuation systems, and Health Monitoring methodologies (both structural and for the actuation system) to be applied for a UAV for future civil use. The project (financed by the MISE) involves Italsystem with other...

The development of a more electric aircraft represents one of the challenges of the technological transition envisaged for much of the primary and auxiliary systems of aircraft and helicopters The aircraft industry has initiated numerous studies and developments for electric actuation, including the use of electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHA), and has begun to introduce electromechanical actuators for auxiliary equipment. This has necessitated...

DEVILS - Development of intelligent oil system enablers for large VHBR engine oil lubrication and heat management systems - as part of the CleanSky2 programme (topic leader Rolls-Royce) has the overall objective of validating a new variable-flow lubrication system concept, through the design of an electronically controlled variable-flow pump, which can become the core of new engine lubrication systems.
