Overview

Expected Outcome:

Development and demonstration of key lidar technologies enabling a feed-forward Gust Load Alleviation (GLA) system for the Ultra-Efficient SMR aircraft. This topic aims to mature critical lidar sub-systems and system integration approaches in representative airborne conditions with an aim to demonstrate reliable ahead of the aircraft turbulence detection and system compatibility with flight control architectures, supporting load reduction and structural weight benefits. See the topic description document published with this call for full details.
