A pioneering wing design for the future hybrid-electric aircraft: The HERWINGT approach (S01, E01)

📽️ Welcome to the HERWINGT video series! 🎙️This is the first episode of Season 1, entitled 'Meet the Researchers,' featuring an interview with Joost Koopman, leader of the 'Technology Enablers' work package, and Gijs Brouwer, Associate Research Engineer at @gkn Aerospace. In this episode, Joost Koopman introduces the scope of this work package and its contribution to the HERWINGT project, along with a brief reference to the developing technologies. Gijs Brouwer continues by explaining the first technology, which is in-situ consolidation through laser-assisted Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) 🚀 About HERWINGT: HERWINGT aims to design a novel wing that is ideal for the future hybrid-electric aircraft of the regional segment and to develop architectures, structures, and technologies that allow higher integration of electric systems. Target is a 50% fuel burn reduction, at the aircraft level, in three different ways: 🔹Developing state-of-the-art wing configurations and improved aerodynamics, leading to drag reduction and enabling a fuel burn reduction of 15% at the wing component level. 🔹Wing structures, more integrated systems, and new material technologies resulting in a weight reduction of 20% at the component level. 🔹The development of technologies equipping the wing with fuel systems that are compatible with Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). By 2025, HERWINGT also commits to delivering: 🔸Digital twins and a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the components, subsystems, and full wing systems compatible with the reference aircraft digital framework and requirements. 🔸Α roadmap toward the full-scale wing demonstration at aircraft level with a first flight. 🔔 Stay tuned for more interviews with the researchers and engineers working on HERWINGT! 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates! 🌍 Website: https://herwingt-project.eu/home 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/herwingt-... 🚀 X (Twitter): https://x.com/HerwingtP #cleanaviation #HorizonEurope #EUResearch #EUInnovation #SustainableEurope
