The Better Life with MgO project, under the EU LIFE15 ENV framework, focuses on the demonstration of a new dry desulfurization technology, utilizing magnesium oxide (MgO) as a sorbent for sulfur oxide (SOx) pollutants.
Apart from demonstrating the feasibility of this method, the objectives of this project include:
Biomimetics is an upcoming trend amongst aerodynamic designers, motivating several investigations into unusual aircraft body and wing shapes. These studies get their inspiration from shapes and mechanisms found in nature and try to improve the aerodynamic behavior of an aircraft.
For example, tubercles, small bumps found on the flipper of the humpback whale, help control the flow over a wing at high angles of attack.

Electrification can arguably help ameliorate the overall performance as the biggest advantage of Hybrid Electric Propulsion Systems (HEPS) is the fact that the engine operates close to its design point to produce the required thrust and maintain all the secondary systems running, well below their maximum power setting. Hence, and apart from extending the life of the engine, the rotational speed of the shaft decreases, and overall pressure g...
The main goal of the EURRICA project is the synergetic evaluation of disruptive technologies on a novel Blended-Wing-Body medium-sized, fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform. The BWB layout is selected as the base platform, due to reasons related primarily to its great aerodynamic efficiency and large internal volume.
