Project description
The overall objective of the AERCOST project is to obtain disruptive solutions for aircraft structural components based on the use of new materials with improved functionalities and advanced manufacturing technologies that allow for lighter designs, contributing to a significant reduction in the weight of the aircraft as a whole.
This will improve its performance in terms of fire resistance and impact resistance, allowing its integration with new zero emission propulsion systems. This will result in increased efficiency and a reduction in the volume of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere as a result of air traffic. In addition, the automation of complex processes, which by their nature have been developed manually, ensures the evolution of procedures towards a digital environment, leaving behind the artisanal way of working.
The AERCOST project aims to provide the market with high added value solutions that address the challenge of mitigating the environmental impact of air traffic through significant reductions in pollutant emissions, ensuring at all times excellent performance and quality control of new designs.
The AERCOST project consortium is composed of Aciturri Engineering, Aribus Operations, M Torres Diseños Industriales, IDEC Ingeniería y Desarrollos de Composites, and Troqueles y Moldes de Galicia.
This project has been funded by the CDTI and supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
