LEONARDO, Italy
-
As a partner of the world's leading commercial aircraft manufacturers, Leonardo specializes in the production and assembly of large structural components in composite and traditional metal for commercial and defence aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aircraft. Leonardo participates in the most important programs in the sector such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Airbus A220 and A321 and the regional best-selling turboprop ATR.
-
Leonardo will be involved in the project through the design of the 2 aerospace components, the developed solutions will be mechanically and physically compatible with real industrial applications. The candidate aerospace component is the window frame (proposed by Leonardo Aerostructures), already developed by CETMA and LND at TRL5 using rCF-reinforced composites and the PCM process.

Università degli Studi di Salerno, Italy
-
The University of Salerno is located a few kilometres from Salerno. Its distinctive feature is the configuration in the form of a campus: the main one, in Fisciano, has an area of 1,200,000 square meters. There are 17 departments.
The Department of Industrial Engineering (DIIn) was born in 2011 by the association of researchers from the Departments of Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, and Environmental Engineering. The DIIn has modern facilities and efficient orientation, teaching, studying, and research services. There are 75 Laboratories (>6000 mq) belonging to DIIn.
-
UNISA is the Lead beneficiary of WP5 titled “Material characterisation and self-functions analysis” and WP7 titled “Recyclability demonstration and sustainability evaluation”.
UNISA primary role is to confer smart, innovative properties to the composites integrating new nanostructured materials in them, allowing enabling an evolving shift from single-purpose materials with only structural function to recyclable multifunctional systems.
The activities will be performed to achieve two main goals: energy saving during the manufacturing processes and waste reduction potential through the strategies implemented in the project against the current benchmark.
