For this project, experts from Fleming College's Centre for Advancement in Mechatronics and IndustrialInternet of Things (CAMIIT) and Ontario Tech University's Department of Mechanical and ManufacturingEngineering will work with Horizon Aircraft to design, simulate and prototype the mechanisms of a novelwing-integrated electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) system. The academic partners will provideHorizon Aircraft with technical knowledge related to additive manufacturing, topology optimization, and the concepts of design for manufacturing and design for assembly. Advancements in these areas, which aretraditionally part of advanced manufacturing and machining, will accelerate Horizon Aircraft into the aerospaceindustry and will ultimately transform how a novel aircraft will be designed, tested, and manufactured. Theproposed research focuses on three areas: 1) detailed design of components and mechanisms for the system; 2) structural and fluid dynamics simulation and testing of the components and the system; and 3) design formanufacturing and design for assembly analysis. The outcome of this collaborative research work will stand as a premier example of integrating advanced manufacturing technologies with aerospace and eVTOL.

在这个项目中，来自弗莱明学院机电一体化和工业物联网发展中心（CAMIIT）和安大略理工大学机械与制造工程系的专家将与地平线飞机公司合作，设计、模拟和原型化一种新型机翼集成电动垂直起降（eVTOL）系统的机制。学术合作伙伴将为地平线飞机提供与增材制造、拓扑优化以及制造和装配设计概念相关的技术知识。这些领域的进步，传统上是先进制造和机械加工的一部分，将加速地平线飞机进入航空航天工业，并最终改变新型飞机的设计、测试和制造方式。本文的研究主要集中在三个方面：1)系统组件和机制的详细设计；2)部件和系统的结构和流体动力学仿真与测试；3)制造设计和装配分析设计。这项合作研究工作的成果将成为将先进制造技术与航空航天和eVTOL相结合的首要范例。
