Development of smart wing structures that measure atmospheric turbulence and suppress disturbance effects
- reduction of interference effects due to atmospheric turbulence in flight
For commercial aviation:
- reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions – by up to 10%
- higher traffic volume
- improved travel comfort and flight safety
For vertical take-off and landing (VTOL):
- particularly efficient turbulence suppression due to parallel effect of direct lift and vertical thrust
- increased reliability and safety in operation
- building consumer confidence
For unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV):
- enabling missions with smaller aircraft
- increased reliability and safety in operation
- longer range
Innovation level:
- novel method increases the compensation effect of the lift by a factor of 10
- results of simulation and unmanned test flight indicate possible reduction of the disturbance effects by 80% compared to today’s uncontrolled flight
- filed for patent
- first public presentation at a trade show
