The aim of the Clean Sky 2 topic JTI-CS2-2018-CFP09-FRC-01-26 “Design, manufacture and deliver a high performance, low cost, low weight Nacelle Structure for Next Generation TiltRotor (NGCTR) - Technology Demonstrator (TD)” is to develop innovative: lightweight materials, architecture, technologies, fire resistant materials, control of structural borne vibration to be applied on the Nacelle of the NGCTR under supervision of Leonardo Helicopters Division. TRAIL Consortium shall meet the target by introducing advanced composite materials and designing highly integrated monocoque structure of the Nacelle with use of OoA (Out of Autoclave) and VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Method) manufacturing techniques. In the frame of the project lightweight hybrid firewalls (composite with elastomeric coating) shall be investigated to produce lighter structure. The project will also deal with novel means to damp structure borne vibration and noise through application of viscoelastic materials into the NGCTR TD Engine Nacelle design. The realization of the project shall lead to significant weight of the structure and number of parts reduction. It shall also show that decreasing manufacturing costs and time is possible and lead to introduction of technologies which shall reduce environmental impact of air transport and aviation industry.

Continuously increasing air traffic and demand to go faster and further, poses new challenges to the aviation industry – expectations have to be met, in terms of mobility, efficiency and capabilities. LifeRCraft as a compound solution will combine performance of an aircraft with helicopter capabilities, like hovering. However, in order to introduce to the market a competitive product an improvement beyond current ‘state of the art’ is needed, what concerns also aerodynamic optimization of the aircraft. The main rotor head has been identified as one of the first contributors to the overall aircraft drag. Full rotor head fairings with sealing system may be a significant breakthrough leading to the drag reduction. LATTE project aim is to contribute to the high level objectives assigned to the LifeRCraft, by detailed design and prototype manufacturing of the Full Fairing for Main Rotor Head (JTI-CS2-2016-CFP04-FRC-02-18), what will be as step forward within the industrialization process of the new concept. The LATTE project proposes realisation of the above topic by three different companies from Poland and Czech Republic - including research institutes and manufacturing plants. LATTE will cover design and manufacturing activities of the fairing prototype as well testing and flightworthiness substantiation. Part B. I of the proposal describes the applicants' ambitions and main objectives as well as the way they will be achieved - including description of the design and analysis approach, modern manufacturing technologies and solutions that are planned to be implemented. Expected impact of the project has been described. Implementation of the new solutions, work breakdown and description of each work-package has been provided. Part B. II of the proposal covers applicants' profile description including their capabilities, research and development activities and also description of national and international projects in which they were involved.

Continuously increasing number of flights and predicted further growth of air travel, results in increased impact on environment and is a challenge facing aviation industry in terms of finding new and more environmentally-friendly solutions that can enter into service in a relatively short period of time. Moreover increasing expectations in terms of door-to-door mobility underlines the need of searching for more affordable and better performance solutions. Modern compound rotorcraft, better than the currently used helicopters, in terms of fuel consumption, impact on environment, cost and performance shall fulfil this expectations. Listed above features are a result of combination of individual components' features of the rotorcraft, like the equipped engine compartments which design and realisation is the aim of the (JTI-CS2-2016-CFP03-FRC-02-11 CS2) project. The DREAM project proposes realisation of the above topic by three different companies from Poland and Czech Republic, among which are research institutes and manufacturing plant. DREAM will cover design and manufacturing activities of the engine compartments together with flightworthiness substantiation. Annex 1 of the Grant Agreement describes the applicants' ambitions and main objectives as well as the way they will be achieved during the project realization - including description of the design and analysis approach, modern manufacturing technologies and solutions that are planned to be implemented. Expected impact of the project has been described. Implementation of the new solutions, work breakdown and description of each work-package (including timing, description of tasks, deliverables and milestones) has been provided. Applicants' profile descriptions including their capabilities, research and development activities and also descriptions of national and international projects in which they were involved, are also included.

The aim of the Clean Sky 2 Topic JTI-CS2-2020-CfP11-LPA-01-92 “Optimization of APU Exhaust Muffler Thermal Barrier and Air Intakes construction Technologies” is to develop new materials construction concepts to be used for APU’s Air Intakes and Exhaust Muffler, that will meet specific functional requirements related, among others to weight reduction, noise attenuation, thermal and fire protection and end with a full scale components' design and manufactured ground demonstrators. CHRZĄSZCZ Consortium is merging experience and capabilities of four different Companies – R&D Centre, University and two SMEs – in order to efficiently realize the Project tasks. To answer the call requirements, a Project path was proposed, comprehensively addressing different development phases, including material build-up proposal definition, testing, design and manufacturing stage as well as management activities. Within the proposal Consortium Partners described the approach addressing the call technical expectations by implementation of novel materials, which integration is going to be carefully designed providing required capabilities of the materials combination and made of it final products. Extensive use of composite structures including CFRP and carbo-ceramic composites as well as novel thermal insulation or ceramic foam use is proposed – the proposal also covers information about the materials and their proposed build-up. Realisation of the Project shall result in TRL increase of new materials being beneficial in terms of weight decrease, manufacturing cost and time reduction, while the proposed design shall reduce the environmental impact by reducing the noise level.
