UniSELECT

University Sustainable Long-Range Commercial Transport Vehicle Study

(Original: Identifikation des Minimierungspotenzials der Klimawirkung für den Langstreckenflugverkehr durch Untersuchung radikaler Flugzeugkonfigurationen mit neuen Technologieoptionen und Betriebsszenarien)

Start: 01.01.2024 (Duration: 36 months)

 

Project partners:

  • RWTH Aachen University
  • Technische Universität Berlin
  • Technische Universität Braunschweig
  • Hamburg University of Technology
  • Technical University of Munich
  • University of Stuttgart

UniSELECT is a follow-up and parallel project to UNICADO and UNICADO-II.

 

Project targets:

  • Systematic analysis of possible efficiency increases with new technology options and innovative aircraft configurations by 2050.
  • Realisation of systematic aircraft concept studies for long-haul aircraft to identify the minimisation potential in terms of climate impact for the targeted reduction of CO2 and non-CO2 effects.
  • Integration of regulatory and operational restrictions that could prevent or reduce the full utilisation of the potential of these new technologies and configurations, at present and projected for the future.
  • Utilisation of UNICADO as a modular, quickly adaptable/expandable design/integration and assessment environment at aircraft vehicle level.
