ESTRO PROJECT
OBJECTIVES
ESTRO will produce experimental and numerical data at low and high Mach numbers to validate the relevant aerodynamic performance (including laminar flow extension measurements and wing span load distribution) of the elastic NLF wing of the new TP90 A/C regional aircraft equipped with morphing devices for high lift and load control alleviation.
CHALLENGES
By providing support to the CS2- REGIONAL domain driven by Leonardo Aircraft, ESTRO will contribute to the Clean Sky 2 programme that aims at lowering pollutant emissions and reducing perceived external noise by integrating breakthrough technologies in full-scale demonstrators.
IMPACT
ESTRO activities impact three major areas : • Society and Environment • Innovation and knowledge integration • Transverse application ESTRO activities will in particular contribute to 1. Improve Aircraft Design 2. Optimise Aircraft Aerodynamic Performances 3. Increase the European industry competitiveness 4. Face up societal challenges identified at European level
PROGRESS
The ESTRO consortium is currently finalising the activities and preparing the closing meeting which will be held on February 21, 2023. All the milestones of the projects were achieved. In particular a WT test campaign have been prepared and carried out in the Large Low Speed Facility of DNW located in Marknesse (NL) in December 2021. Data related to the aerodynamic performances of the WT model, including load alleviation and deformation measurements were collected, analysed and set available to authorised persons on the ESTRO workspace on SP.
