Multifunctional structures to reduce the energy consumption of future aircraft WITH INTEGRATED Ku‐band antenna

Original language description

The CO2 and NOX emissions of international air traffic must be reduced, so that aviation becomes more sustainable. This requires innovative technologies that reduce aircraft fuel consumption. The Horizon2020 ACASIAS project takes up this challenge and will reduce the fuel consumption of future aircraft by improving aerodynamic performance and by facilitating the introduction of fuel-efficient engines such as Counter-Rotating Open Rotors. ACASIAS improves the aerodynamics through the conformal and structural integration of antennas into innovative aerostructures. Nowadays installed aircraft antennas are protruding structures, which generate turbulence and generate aerodynamic drag, thus increasing the fuel consumption. For instance, currently available Ku-band satellite antennas still require exterior installation on the fuselage, which needs a protective radome. This affects aerodynamics, which may result in higher fuel consumption up to 4% depending on the position of the radome. Hence, the conformal flush integration of a Ku-band SATCOM antenna will reduce the drag and CO2 emissions by the same percentage. Furthermore, through structurally integrated antennas, the risk of damage to protruding antennas will be reduced, and therefore the ACASIAS project will also contribute to the reduction of maintenance costs and will minimize operational delays.
