ESTRO closing meeting will be held on February 21st at the University of Salerno. 

ESTRO is now finalising the activities related to the WT-Data post-processing, comparison with CFD analysis and extrapolation of data to flight conditions. Activities concern the aerodynamic performances of the wing in different conditions, laminar-turbulent transition estimation, deformation of the model under aerodynamic loads, epistemic uncertainty quantification of results in relation to the turbulence closure and Read more about WT-Data post-processing and CFD analysis[…]

WT data were made available to LDO on April 7th 2021. After some checks, a new reduction for the SPR (Stereo Pattern Recognition) data was necessary to correct problems found in the deformation data which were uploaded again in their final form on June 3rd 2021.  A technical reports (LLF-Report-T1673-ESTRO.pdf), produced by DNW,  with information concerning Read more about WT-Data Provision[…]

After a series of delays related to technical problems in the manufacturing of the WT model, the ESTRO experimental campaign started on December 8th 2021. All entries of the revised test matrix were completed by  December 22nd, 2021. On  December 23rd, 2021 the model was removed from the test section and was later shipped back to DLR. 

On March 2nd 2021, ESTRO successfully submitted the mid-term report. The amendment of the project with the addition of DNW as new beneficiary of the Consortium, launched on September 2020,  was accepted by the JU on April 12th 2021.   

In order to mitigate the risks deriving from the uncertain outcomes of the CfT, on 7 September 2020, UNISA launched an amendment to the project in order to validate the following changes: Addition of a new beneficiary  Changes of Annex 1  Change of the action’s duration Change of reporting period  The amendment is in progress Read more about ESTRO amendment launched[…]

The ESTRO consortium is now preparing the technical specification for the launch of an European Call for tender for the assignment of the contract for the wind tunnel test campaign. The test matrix described in the topic JTI-CS2-2018-CFP08-REG- 03-01 has been  reviewed in cooperation with the TM. The CfT will be prepared according to the Read more about Call for Tender Preparation[…]
