In her research, Juliette Thoma is investigating the effects of highly integrated transport aircraft concepts on cabin noise. The main objective is to integrate acoustics into the initial aircraft design process and consider sound fields in the early design stages using appropriate mid-fidelity models of the entire aircraft.
This involves investigating both the configuration-dependent selection of necessary modeling aspects and a numerical solution suitable for the design loop.

As part of the A03 research project, Alexander Tidow is investigating the synergies and potential which arise from a high level of integration of engines and control systems.
This includes both boundary layer induction and active flow control. The aim is to evaluate the implemented physical models for predicting these influences.

As a part of the research, Monica Vayasi is investigating on ways to remove the water that is emitted from aircraft exhaust by using porous media. The water vapor that is released from the engine causes contrails to form and thereby, has an influence on the climate change.
She is in charge of setting up experiments to study the condensation on porous media, placement of porous media within the engine and to collect the condensed water.

In SynTrac Laurena Weis is working in sub-project C01 which examines the potential of structure-integrated thermal management using numerical and experimental methods.
As PI of sub-project A02, Bernhard Weigand is in charge of analysing flow losses by determining entropy production rates. He has been head of the Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics (ITLR) at the University of Stuttgart since 1999.
There he teaches thermodynamics and analytical methods for solving heat and mass transfer problems. His research areas include droplet dynamics, heat transfer in gas turbines and supersonic combustion.

As part of the A05 research project, Martin Wilichowski is developing novel flight dynamics models and automated benchmarks to evaluate and optimize the flight characteristics and handling qualities of highly integrated aircraft configurations.
As part of the B04 research project, Yiwen Yuan focus mainly on the performance modelling of a high integrated propulsion system, which also includes the concept design of exhaust gas treatment as well as the analysis and optimisation of a mild thrust vectoring exhaust system.
By applying a neural network to the „uninstalled “ exhaust system and using transfer learning, the non-linear interactions will be caught by the performance modelling of the propulsor.

As part of his research activities in sub-project A02, Myles Zabel is investigating how flow losses in aircraft flows can be determined using the second law of thermodynamics. Particularly in combination with heat transfer, various effects are superimposed in integrated propulsion systems, which complicates the conventional determination of flow losses.
He also examines the intensification of heat transfer through microstructures.
