Advanced Technology of Modular Control and Diagnostics Systems for Aircraft Engines (TRIO)
The main aim is to design a new-generation of modular control unit for the small turbine engines which integrates engine control and vibro-diagnostic modules and AC/DC power converter for on board 28Vdc power supply. The development will verify applied modern technologies and observations from the GPT´s (General purpose Technologies) field for product innovation using the KET´s (Key Enabling Technologies) technologies (application of modern microelectronic and MEMS technologies and advanced materials). A secondary, but nevertheless significant, goal with a view to future commercial use is to increase the product competitiveness by improving its utility features and users functionalities (decreased weight, consumption, dimensions, operation costs and final product price, increased robustness, reliability and lifetime compared to current solutions and impove maintenability applying advanced engine vibro-diagnostics). The verification of functional qualities and performance parameters, the evaluation of the suitability of applied advanced KET´s technologies (modern microelectronic components and advanced materials) and the hardware-software integration will be carried out on functional modules and device samples. Afterwards, the end solution will be realized as prototype of modules integrated on target device, i.e. engine modular control and diagnostic system. Type tests of functionality and performance level on an engine test stand at the manufacturer’s site will be realized. Expected project results will find commercial use in control and diagnostic systems for small turbine based aircraft engines in civil aviation area. The design activities on the proposed project are specified partially as industrial research and experimental development.

Modernization Of Small Transport Aircraft to increase operation effectiveness and economy (MOST)
The research and development project MOSTA, solves significant modernization of the small transport airplane L410 UVP-E20, taking advantages of the latest findings in the areas of aeronautics and manufacturing technology. Execution of the project MOSTA will involve maximum payload increase, aircraft performance improvement at warm and alpine conditions using a new version of turbo-prop engine M-601H and a new propeller AV 725. Extension of the service life up to 30 000 flight hours minimally. Also implementation of a modern maintenance system, enlargement of luggage compartment, cruise speed increase, maximum range extension and a new conception of wing structure with considerably bigger fuel tanks and essentially lower labour consumption.
