BERLIN\u2014Certification by analysis, an approach that replaces some tests with virtual assessments, may contribute to maturing technologies faster, Markus Fischer, divisional board member for aeronautics at German aerospace research center DLR, said June 10.<\/p>\n

When the long-pursued idea materializes, it may help a new technology make its way into an aircraft system or component. The current approach essentially involves expensive testing, which certification by analysis may partly supplant. It may support the European aerospace industry\u2019s ongoing endeavor, as it is looking for ways to both embark on new technologies on future aircraft\u2014such as Airbus\u2019 next-generation, single-aisle\u2014and shorten the research and development cycle.<\/p>\n

DLR has been working to have certification by analysis broadly accepted. \u201cWe are preparing the future framework program [the EU\u2019s research and innovation funding plan], and I am pretty sure certification by analysis will be part of it,\u201d Fischer said, speaking during a panel discussion on the EU\u2019s Clean Aviation joint undertaking organized at ILA Berlin. \u201c[If you] work as much as possible in a virtual design space and exploit every design opportunity, going to the design\u2019s limits, the corners of the envelope, you may be able to determine whether continuing is worthwhile.\u201d With a conventional approach, testing quickly becomes expensive, meaning ideas perceived as risky are left out, he added.<\/p>\n

Certification by analysis still relies on testing to some extent. \u201cI can check the design space more thoroughly and determine at which step I still have to test something in a physical manner,\u201d Fischer said. The approach uses previous tests and analogies, resulting in a dataset to discuss with certification authorities, he emphasized. \u201cAt the beginning, you have to test more to gain trust,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

DLR tried the method with Airbus A320 flaps, also integrating certification authorities in the team. \u201cDoing so, you can work out…<\/p>\n
