PASSARO Project

Innovative structural and functional testing capabilities for aerostructures

Programme:

Clean Sky II

Period:

2016 – 2021

Area of innovation:

Intensive digitalisation of testing processes in aeronautical manufacturing and assembly environments

Project objectives

This PASSARO project is funded through the Clean Sky 2 Programme, under topic JTI-CS2-2015-CPW02-AIR-02-06 “Airframe on-ground structural and functional tests of advanced structures”. Using representative cabin and wing aerostructure prototypes, it aims to demonstrate the applicability of a set of innovative technologies in the design, manufacturing and on-ground testing stages.
