DigiPAD: Advancing Aircraft Design, a Collaborative Showcase at Tech Transfer Day
Written by rbfLAB on
On November 14, the Tech Transfer Day will be held at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, where RBF Morph will present a dedicated booth focused on the DigiPAD project.
DigiPAD (Digital Twin for Advanced Design in the Aerospace Industry) represents a pioneering initiative aimed at transforming the aircraft design process. This project integrates two state-of-the-art technologies—JPAD from SmartUp Engineering and RBF Morph from RBF Morph—to create an advanced numerical toolset that significantly enhances the efficiency and precision of aircraft design methodologies.
By leveraging a parametric model of aircraft and employing the concept of a Digital Twin, DigiPAD enables designers to evaluate the impact of various design variables in real-time with unprecedented accuracy. This innovative approach is poised to improve the preliminary design phase, facilitating the identification of more efficient and environmentally sustainable aircraft configurations at an accelerated pace.
The DigiPAD project is spearheaded by a team of experts, including Ubaldo Cella, Andrea Lopez, Emanuele Di Meo, and Giovanna Gargiulo from RBF Morph; alongside Agostino De Marco, Manuela Ruocco, and Vittorio Trifari from SmartUp Engineering; Corrado Groth and Marco Evangelos Biancolini, University of Rome Tor Vergata, support DigiPAD in conceiving and developing advanced algorithms.
The consortium aims to achieve a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 by the conclusion of the project, thereby demonstrating a system prototype under operational conditions, paving the way for practical implementation within the aerospace industry.
