PROGETTO MEA Asse I - Reti per il rafforzamento del potenziale

scientifico-tecnologico delle Regioni della Convergenza (durata 2013-

2016). Il progetto si propone di impostare, valutare, analizzare e

sviluppare architetture propulsive ibride per applicazioni UAV e

Aviazione Generale che permettano di ottimizzare le prestazioni in

termini di gestione dell’energia a bordo velivolo.

GREENING THE PROPULSION "Avviso per lo Sviluppo e

potenziamento di Cluster Tecnologici Nazionali (di cui al DD 257/Ric

del 30 maggio 2012)" (durata 2013-2016). Il progetto “Greening the

Propulsion”, presentato nell’ambito del Cluster “Aerospazio”,

riguarda la Propulsione Ibrida per applicazioni Aeronautiche in cui si

studiano possibili architetture ibride per un sistema propulsivo

aeronautico.

Tecnologie per la propulsione sostenibile (GREEN ENGINE) Proposta

finanziata nell'ambito del Accordo di programma Quadro “Ricerca

Scientifica” II Atto integrativo Avviso Pubblico “Reti di Laboratori

Pubblici e di Ricerca” - Regione Puglia. (30 MESI). Questa rete di

laboratori correla le seguenti attività:

- combustione nel campo della propulsione e studio delle

problematiche chimiche e fisiche connesse al fenomeno.

- Sviluppo di sensori .

- Sviluppo di materiali ad alte temperature.

L'obiettivo della proposta è quello di creare una rete tra tali

competenze al fine di sostenere le attività di ricerca e sviluppo di

nuove tecnologie per la propulsione ecologica a basso impatto

ambientale. Queste attività sono inserite nell’ambito delle proposte

del "Distretto Aerospaziale Pugliese" (Distretto Aerospaziale) e del

Centro di Competenza dei Trasporti.

PROGETTO MALET - SVILUPPO DI TECNOLOGIE PER LA PROPULSIONE

AD ALTA QUOTA E LUNGA AUTONOMIA DI VELIVOLI NON ABITATI -

PON 2007/2013 (36 MESI)- L'obiettivo del progetto è quello di

acquisire tecnologie e validarle al fine di sviluppare un sistema di

propulsione per Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) che svolga missioni

ad alta quota per una lunga durata.
