Building twinning Actions in smart Aviation with eNvironmental Gains (BAANG)

BAANG的主要目标是激发智能航空领域相关合作伙伴的科学卓越和创新能力，对环境产生积极影响。BAANG创建了连接4个学科的科学战略-航空学，机电一体化，材料力学和增材技术。通过广泛的结对活动组合，它带来了科学和技术创新，导致飞机结构的设计改变其形态。当前飞机对机翼气动形状的调整能力有限，无法适应关键的飞行条件。这限制了根据实际机翼载荷或抑制不利的气动弹性效应（如阵风载荷）最小化飞机阻力的可能性。新的机翼设计采用3D打印超材料和先进的模拟技术，从而实现高效的机翼适应。此外，智能传感材料的集成确保了先进的飞机设计，能够进行自检操作，例如检测结构缺陷。在航空领域成功引入形状变化、自致动结构的目的是减少燃料消耗和二氧化碳排放，减少制造过程中的材料浪费，节省大量维护成本，并改善结构健康监测。主要目标将通过建立一个由来自三个领先研究机构（代尔夫特理工大学、ICL和维也纳理工大学）的合作学者组成的网络，以及不断扩大的BUT机构和行业代表来实现。9名来自BUT的年轻研究人员和2名来自Wien的年轻研究人员的深入参与，并将他们与顶级科学团队联系起来，为期3至6个月。我们预计国际项目提交数量将增加60%。此外，科学成果的可见性也会提高——参与早期BUT研究人员的h指数将在项目结束后翻一番。

The main objective of BAANG is to stimulate the scientific excellence and innovation capacity of the involved partners in the field of smart aviation with a positive impact on the environment. BAANG creates the scientific strategy that connects 4 disciplines - aeronautics, mechatronics, mechanics of materials and additive technologies. Through a broad portfolio of twinning activities, it brings scientific and technological innovation leading to the design of an aircraft structure changing its morphology. Current aircraft have limited ability to adapt the wings aerodynamic shape to adapt to critical flight conditions. That restricts the possibilities of minimizing the aircrafts drag according to the actual wing load or suppressing adverse aeroelastic effects such as gust loading. The new wing design uses 3D printed metamaterials and advanced simulation techniques leading to efficient wing adaptation. In addition, the integration of intelligent sensing materials ensures an advanced aircraft design that is capable of self-inspection operation, such as detecting structural defects. The successful introduction of shape changing, self-actuating structures in aviation aims to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, reduce material waste in manufacturing, save significant maintenance costs and improve structural health monitoring. The main objective will be achieved by creating a network of collaborating academics from three leading research institutions - TU Delft, ICL and TU Wien, with the widening BUT institutions and industry representatives. Intensive involvement of 9 young researchers from BUT and 2 young researchers from TU Wien and linking them with top scientific teams for a period of 3 to 6 months. We expect a 60% increase in the number of international project submissions. In addition, there will be greater visibility of scientific results - the H-index of the involved early stage BUT researchers will double in period after the project.
