Environmental sustainability is one of the main challenges faced by today’s aviation industry. Aerospace structures require high strength and stiffness; thus, they have traditionally been made from metals. However, composite materials are gaining increased use in aircraft and industry to reduce weight, contributing to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and carbon footprint. The use […]
The importance of Intellectual Property Management in European funded projects
FEUGA, as the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) manager, oversees identify, manage and analyze the approach for IPR protection of the innovations generated during the MORPHO project. With the main objective of correctly allow the commercial exploitation of the MORPHO results, efficient Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) management is considered a key issue. IP management cover several […]
Structural Health Monitoring, the MORPHO approach
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technologies for damage detection, diagnosis, and prognosis in aerospace structures are recognized as a key solution to increase aviation safety and to simultaneously decrease operating, maintenance, and repair costs. SHM enables a novel maintenance approach based on the actual condition of the airframe, mitigating operating costs induced by scheduled inspections. The […]
