Objective
The Cluster of Excellence SE²A (Sustainable and energy-efficient aviation) is an interdisciplinary research center in Germany with the purpose of investigating technologies for a sustainable and eco-friendly air transport system. Scientists from aerospace, electrical, energy and chemical engineering are working on the reduction of emissions and noise, as well as recycling and life-cycle concepts for airframes and improvements in air traffic management.
We contribute to the cluster’s research on propeller technologies, with a research project on high-lift propellers (1st funding round; B1.5) and propeller-propeller interaction noise (2nd funding round; B1.3). These projects involve wind-tunnel experiments with distributed propellers and multi-element wing models, as well as CFD analyses.
