Honeywell-led European consortium launches research on thermal management solutions for future aircraft
BRNO, Czech Republic - Honeywell welcomed a consortium of companies to its international development center in Brno, Czech Republic, to launch research and plans to develop advanced thermal management components and architectures for next-generation narrow body and regional, hybrid-electric aircraft as a critical enabler to reducing aircraft emissions, AviationPros reports. Continue reading original article.
The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:
28 February 2023 -Â Clean Aviation Project TheMa4HERA, which stands for Thermal Management for Hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft, encompasses 24 partners, including universities, research centers, equipment manufacturers and aircraft manufacturers, across 10 European countries. Honeywell will lead research out of its Brno facility. The project will review a variety of thermal management technology to compare and adapt to the architecture of next-generation aircraft.
“Pivotal to achieving the transformation to net-zero aviation will be the development of disruptive solutions that brings momentous gains in aircraft energy efficiency coupled with low- or zero-carbon energy sources. The launch of TheMa4HERA will kick-start the necessary work to drive a step change in aircraft performance, supporting the delivery of EU Green Deal ambitions,” Axel Krein, executive director of Clean Aviation.
