Coupon and element testing and manufacturing of test article for morphing technologies

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

In line with the Clean Sky 2 objectives, the main objective of this topic is to contribute to the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by increasing the effectivity of movables through application of morphing technology. The applicant will develop a test plan and execute coupon and elements tests. Furthermore, the applicant will use a simulation tool to correlate the test results with analysis results. In addition, the applicant will develop a manufacturing process for a morphing structure using fluid actuated cells. Based on this, the applicant will manufacture and deliver a full-scale test article, which will be used for further testing, which is not part of this call. Please refer to the full topic descriptions document published in this call.
