DEMONSTRATE is an Innovation Action within the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Clean Sky 2 program under Grant Agreement No. 101007881.
The team of DEMONSTRATE comprises the LGAI Technological Center SA – Applus+ and Athena Research and Innovation Center as Beneficiaries. Topic Manager of Demonstrate project is the Hellenic Aerospace Industry.
The overall objectives of DEMONSTRATE is the full-scale testing of three airframe section demonstrators, two metallic and a thermoplastic fuselage panel with an integrated stiffening structure to demonstrate their structural integrity, supported by advanced simulation methodologies correlated with experimental data.
A number of enabling technologies have been planned to be developed and matured within DEMONSTRATE project, which will result to the realization of an efficient, reliable and cost-effective test bench suitable for the full-scale testing of curved aeronautical panels. The developed test bench will be used for the execution of static tests on advanced metallic and thermoplastic curved integrally stiffened full-scale panels, representative of a business jet fuselage structure and the execution of an endurance test on an integrally stiffened 4th generation Al-Li curved panel.
