In research project A06, Jakob Schlittenhardt is investigating the overall aircraft design. Specifically, the interactions, synergies, and potentials of novel propulsion systems for transport aircraft are under scrutiny. The implementation of different disciplines from the other sub-projects in the aircraft design, as well as the feedback of findings, play a unique role, considering the integration of varying fidelity levels.

Mark Schneider is addressing the aeroacoustic aspects of distributed propulsion systems, as encountered in configuration 2a as part of the subproject C06.

The primary objectives include the implementation of a robust broadband model capable of representing not only harmonic phenomena but also stochastic acoustic mechanisms.

Within the A07 sub-project, Daniel Six deals with holistic aircraft design optimization. The main focus is on managing information for a System-of-Systems (SoS)-inspired Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) framework, in order to maximize the synergy effects between the sub-disciplines.

Key goals within the projects are to enable efficient information exchange between the domains, as well as consolidating them on the overall aircraft design level.

As part of the A03 research project, Elrawy Soliman is exploring the synergies and possibilities that emerge from coupling the airframe, the control surfaces and the distributed propulsion systems.

The aim is to study the slipstream interaction with the airfarme as well as the potetial of using the distirubuted propusion for differntial thrust to ovetake some control fuctionalities.
