The project EverScale complements the strongly numerically oriented studies in SE2A in the field of aircraft wing load alleviation by sub-scaled flight testing to experimentally verify and improve different load alleviation systems. Sub-scale models with the passive and active alleviation technologies are derived from the full-scale concepts, built and flight-tested. Passive load alleviation is based on flexible wings with non-linear behaviour, active alleviation is achieved through feedback of distributed inertial sensors and active control of distributed fast moving flaps, also in combination with the passive approach. Valuable insights into the feasibility and limitations of the load alleviation systems are expected from the realistic in-flight operating conditions, so that enhancements can be developed and quickly be tested for conclusions to be drawn also for the full-scale technology concepts.
Current work
We are finalizing the first design of our scaled demonstrator and starte the production of the first parts in our 3D printers to test them. Also the digital commissioning in full swing, for further details you can take a look into our contibution to the Scitech Forum 2025 in Orlando.
Additionally we have started to setup sections, integrate the electronics and perform ground tests.
For further project details refer to our SE2A homepage.
