A special session on the NEXTAIR project will be available (included in the registration to the conference).
The Horizon Europe funded project NEXTAIR started in September 2022 bringing together 16 partners, including 4 leading aeronautical industries, 2 innovative SMEs and 9 renowned research organisations, to contribute to tackle the challenge of a more sustainable aviation, towards climate neutrality. NEXTAIR focused on the development of innovative multi-disciplinary design methodologies, data-fusion techniques, and smart health-assessment tools to enable the digital transformation in aircraft design, manufacturing and maintenance for the next generation of frugal aircraft and engines. The MDO workshop will host the NEXTAIR Final Event with a special session of 8 talks dedicated to the dissemination and successful uptake of the results achieved by the project on different industrial test cases, followed by an open discussion.
