AMOS' scope of activities covers:

The main objectives of the E-COM project are:

• to investigate different composite materials taking into account specific engine environments,
• to be able to select the best compromise for a specific part integrated in the architecture of tomorrow’s engines.

The selection of a material for its application to an engine component requires tests that are sufficiently representative of the forces undergone by the parts within the engine. This is a prerequisite to ensure the integration of technology in engine development.

The urge of the aviation industry for a quick conversion to composite material requires innovative solutions.

In this context, the EASIPM project aims to accelerate the development of the manufacturing process of the composite and provide better control of its production, by direct measurement of parameters observed locally within the material during its production: local temperature, local pressure, and local constraints.

VIRTUALCOMP project is in line with the APC project (Skywin) with a particular emphasis on the establishment of a stand alone numerical simulation platform used in all composite applications for aeronautic sector. 
 
In particular, the software platform developed will be applicable to the modeling and design of advanced composite structures obtained by foldes spreading techniques on complex geometries but also the latest technology for automated fiber placement developed for the aerospace industry.

The project aims to develop the ability to design and manufacture using computer aided engineering (CAE), and to assembly and test Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) in a    one-piece configuration called Blisk.  
 

ECOTAC project aims to gain knowledge of AFP (Automated Fiber Placement) & SQRTM/RTM technologies by making   demonstrators for each intended application. The project explores three new technological areas, which have not, or very little,  been explored: 

The project aims to develop new production’s methods and new knowledge, new services and products in the composite molds field. The research phase will be concluded with a demonstration phase. 

The first major objective is to develop innovative processes for producing composite parts dedicated to the aerospace market with the following targets : 

JD'C Innovation is a company with a social purpose (integration into working life of people with disabilities or reduced school career) active in the fields of aerospace, defense, medical, automotive , ... In these sectors, the company realizes composite parts.

In order to provide a more comprehensive service to its customers or additional outsourcing services, JDC will acquire the skills needed for Non Destructive Testing (NDT) for manufactured parts without undermining their integrity.

The research on weight reduction led Techspace Aero to develop a new type of rotor for its low pressure compressors, the Bladed druM, abbreviated BluM®. Lightweight and innovative, this rotor will participate in the preparation of new generation boosters which the Walloon company has made a specialty for.

The objective of the project is to combine the competences of various Walloon partners to conduct research for the development of a Smart-Pod System : it refers to an embedded container for aircrafts, carrying a machine gun and 12.7mm guided rocket tubes .

This development will be done in parallel with the development of the viewfinder Hudi, launched by FN Herstal, and its functional connection.

Regarding Smart-Pod, the lines of research are:
