The main objective of the TRANSCEND project is to innovate in the application of new materials and advanced manufacturing, assembly and inspection processes in order to obtain new structures belonging to a wide range of aircraft, as well as highly repeatable parts in zero-emission aircraft with high production rates.
TRANSCEND will make it possible to research and develop high-performance solutions in order to reduce production costs in components with high production rates, as opposed to current materials and processes in the aeronautical sector. In this way, a strategic step will be taken, providing Spanish industry with new knowledge and experience in the manufacture of a new variety of components and structures, subject to new cost, quality and safety requirements, depending on their function. TRANSCEND aims to achieve the economic balance of a product equidistant between traditional aeronautics and the automotive industry by developing processes and materials that are better suited to the new functionalities of the zero-emission aircraft of the future.
The TRANSCEND project consortium is composed of Aernnova Composites Illescas, Aernnova Engineering Division, Birka Composites, MTORRES, NORTE and EPROJECT4.
This project has been financed by the CDTI and supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation’.
