A Milestone in My Research Journey 🚀 I’m excited to share that my first research article has been published, and I had the honor of presenting it at the ECCOMAS Conference in Lisbon this past June. Reaching this level of education has been a journey full of growth but there’s still a long road ahead and I’m ready to give my best! My article addresses an urgent challenge: aviation’s contribution to global emissions. Hydrogen is increasingly seen as a key energy carrier in our shift toward a decarbonized world, yet aviation remains one of the toughest sectors to transition. My research explores the technical hurdles of storing hydrogen in its liquid form within short- and medium-haul aircraft, covering various tank integration methods and the challenges of selecting materials that perform well in cryogenic conditions. The research indicates that while no universal solution exists yet, promising technologies are emerging. The integration of a liquid hydrogen tank into the aircraft poses unique challenges for aerodynamics and volume, and decisions around tank design and materials are critical. I’m grateful for everyone who has supported me on this journey, and I look forward to what’s next in advancing sustainable aviation. Special thanks to EFACA which allowed me to carry out this work! 🔗 The article can be downloaded at the following link: https://lnkd.in/e9EPmug2

Did you know how important it is to prevent noise pollution? Whether the cause is genetic, age-related, or environmental, approximately 60% of the population has some degree of hearing loss. #Preserving hearing health is important for basic communication, balance, health, and even brain acuity. Regardless of age or degree of hearing loss, it’s important to limit excessive noise exposure and use protective equipment when around loud sounds for extended periods. The NEEDED project is specifically working to better characterize and predict the noise pollution that comes from planes and airports. Follow us for more interesting aspects of the NEEDED project.

Since 2021 RWTH Aachen University locates German-Emirati-Institute New institution promotes international collaboration in the field of Industry 4.0 RWTH Aachen University setup the new German-Emirati Institute in #Germany to promote scientific and economic exchange between the #UnitedArabEmirates (UAE) and the #FederalRepublicofGermany. The cooperation goes back to an exchange between Chancellor Angela Merkel and Crown Prince HH Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in 2019, in which technology cooperation was agreed, particularly with regard to Industry 4.0. Participants in the first GEI projects include the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University, the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences and the e.SAT GmbH, a developer and manufacturer of environmentally friendly, low-noise aircraft with hybrid-electric drives. “We are pleased that, thanks to the scientific expertise and economic strength of both countries, we can concentrate on important future solutions for sustainable aviation right from the beginning. Thus we develop emission-free flying more quickly and bring it to market maturity,” explains Professor Frank Janser from the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences. Mariam bint Mohammed Saeed Hareb Almheiri (Minister of State for Food and Water Security), added: “The German-Emirati Institute is a significant step forward in the UAE-German cooperation towards the development of emerging and advanced technologies, as it paves the way for joint Fourth-Industrial-Revolution projects that will help the two countries in achieving their strategic goals, diversifying their economies, and contributing to the future prosperity of their people“ Bernhard Randerath, CEO of the new German-Emirati Institute – Technologies 4.0, adds: “The institute will centralize, manage and control the projects. Our main task is the coordination and linking of competencies and latest technological approaches as well as the access to this unique ecosystem, the bridge between our projects and cultures." HUB Airlines has been selected in the end of 2023 to cooperate towards SAF Fuel development studies and investments in our specific case to operate A350 Airbus Aircraft fleet to be based at #Viracopos. #Brazil is a strong partner with over 1200 German companies being the biggest country with a German industry, abroad Germany. We are proud to be amongst cooperating investors such as The German and UAE Government, Bosch , Siemens, Lufthansa Group, Emirates and other serious partners towards the future of sustainable aviation technology.
