Project Title:
- Towards flying test beds for novel long-range aircraft
Project Objectives:
- Pre-design and evaluation of novel flying testbeds that are needed for de-risking the development of disruptive future long-range aircraft configurations and constituting technologies.
- Investigate the potential emissions reduction of long-range air traffic offered by promising blended wing body aircraft configurations and by hydrogen-powered tube-and-wing configurations, including their constituting radical new technologies.
- Develop roadmaps, but also operational and business plans, for the further development of the EXAELIA flying testbeds and the use of these assets in the development of the future long-range aircraft.
