Next Generation Composite Structures for Commercial aircraft- part 2

Purpose and goal

Further development of the technologies in the project ´Next Generation Composite Structures for Commercial Aircraft´ , has been carried out with excellent results. The results were demonstrated in September 2, 2015 in Laxå and at Compraser Labs in Linköping 16-17 March 2016. Many of the technologies developed in the project will be further developed within the projects Clean Sky 2 and SWE Demo or implemented in production and in new products. The new company X-Laser Systems has been formed and developed a new measuring instrument, based on the cross laser, and is now sold on the market.

Expected results and effects

Complementary technology development was performed for the composite cargodoor demonstrator , 2*3 m, by Saab in collaboration with Swerea Compraser Labs production system for the door demonstrator ÅF-Industry , LIU and X-Laser Systems , which has developed a simplified drilling end-effector for robot use Biteam and KTH which have designed, manufactured and tested a weaving machine for 3D weaving a nudel profil in composite and Elitkomposit which has designed and manufactured a inpregnate device FlexProp developed and manufactured an assembly jigg (9x5meter) in composites.

Planned approach and implementation

The project was an extension of project ´Next Generation Composite Structures for Commercial Aircraft´ with new partners from academia and SME ´s. The project has been implemented in six sub-projects very integrated with the work of the main project. Cooperation between the parties has been very good and efficient and valuable new contacts have been established between the participating partners which have led to new research questions , new partnerships , new products and created new business opportunities for SMEs, both within and outside Sweden.
