(National)
- support specially the development of small GA aircraft- introduction of new selected disciplines and fields - completion of missing infrastructure in aerospace field, which is a necessary
condition for connection to western research and development structures and programs (EU, NATO)
- gradual connection of the “Centre” to similar associations working in EU countries
a) in the technical area
Goals of the Centre:Goals of the Centre:
Aerospace Research Centre (ARC)
- teams of the “ARC” include experienced specialists and young perspective engineers- functional connection of the best specialists from schools, institutes and companies - involvement of students and Ph.D. students on specific projects
b) in the personal area
c) in the economic area- connection of the best specialists to teams provided high effectiveness - using the existing infrastructure, the equipment and facilities to minimize the cost- strongly support the applied research on technical universities
Reduction of time to market and reduction of costs are major tasks that have to be solved by engine producer. Enhancements in IT and computation methods opens space for detailed research of flow problems on turbines and compressors using state-of-the-art numerical methods.
Task C1 – Numeric modeling of flow problems in enginesARC responsible: VZLÚ
Modelling of the channel (as a part of design and optimization process)
Methodologies and recommendations for design and testing of highly efficient, light ducted fan power unit. Propulsion should be used in light sport aircraft with possible applications also in training and unmanned aircraft.
Task C2 – Ducted fan propulsionARC responsible: ČVUT
Preparation of laboratory stand for testing
Wide range of tasks connected to analyses, design and optimization, manufacturing and testing of modern propellers.
Task C3 – Advanced aerodynamic methods for propellers designARC responsible: VZLÚ
Application of fuzzy methods and neuron networks for design of advanced diagnostic system for turbine engines.
Task C4 – Advanced diagnostic methodsARC responsible: VZLÚ
