LATEST UPDATES ON RESEARCH
A multifunctional composite material system for next generation structural system on an airborne structure. It could be a wing, fuselage or even rotor blades. Current video demonstrates the proposed concept along with huge benefits quantified using appropriate electro-mechanical models. Altogether, a promising step towards a cleaner and sustainable aviation.
Animation depicting the process of energy recycling and storage using multifunctional structural composites. It was created for demonstration of the underlying idea behind the proposal, during the Airbus-UNESCO Fly Your Ideas 2015 global challenge. Our diverse team MultiFun, spread across three continents and four different time zones, along with the coveted trophy, took home a €30,000 cash prize.
