18. Research Projects PWC-23 Next Generation Combustor for Small Gas Turbine Engines Term: 5 years Objective: Evolve current low emissions technology developed for large turbofan engines to the next generation turboprops by a new combustor system. This new combustion system is an enabler for greenhouse gas reduction on the engine and has the potential to deliver significant reductions of NOx and particulate matter while improving component life.

19. Research Projects MS-21 Validation of Powder Injection Technology for the Manufacturing of Aerospace Small and Complex Metallic Components Term: 2 years Objective: Validate the manufacturing processes of two strategic materials used in aerospace, and apply these processes to components selected by the partners, focusing on understanding the fundamentals of MIM and designing functional components. This technology could generate significant reduction of the amount of machining and raw material usage resulting in better Buy-to-Fly ratios for complex components.

20. Research Projects BA-21 Experimental Validation of Innovative Environmentally Friendly Aircraft Configurations Term: 4 years Objective: A continuation of prior work, the GARDN II project involves the development of a novel aircraft concept which is designed to satisfy various performance and stability and control (S&C) requirements. This aircraft concept will then be tested in a wind tunnel test campaign to validate the S&C characteristics. Various alternative designs will be tested in addition to the baseline configuration.

21. Research Projects CMC-21 Flight Management Performance Optimization II Term: 4 years Objective: Optimize the vertical and horizontal path of the aircraft within the Flight Management System by taking into account the Required Time of Arrival, the wind grids and meteorological conditions. The main motivation of the project is to reduce overall carbon emissions and flight costs.

22. Research Projects BHTC-21 Hydroformed Helicopter Skid Type Landing Gear Term: 2 years Objective: Reduce weight, components and assembly costs through an enhanced, scaled up methodology of hydroforming aerospace tubular products. The developed technology will enable the manufacturing of high strength and corrosion, environmental-friendly resistant landing gear components and provide superior quality products at lower life costs values.

23. Research Projects PWC-22 Noise Reduction for Next Generation Regional Turboprop Term: 4 years Objective: Leverage new technologies, develop new design methodology, and mature concepts in support of a low-noise large regional turboprop aircraft meeting stringent noise requirements. The new technology is a feasibility requirement for development of a new large environmentally-friendly turboprop aircraft.

24. Research Projects PWC-21 Materials of Concern (MOC) Elimination Term: 4 years Objective: Reduce environmental impact and personnel exposure during manufacturing and repair by finding greener alternatives to ‘materials of concern’. The benefits include reducing ozone depleting substances released into the environment and reducing, if not avoiding, worker exposure to hexavalent chromium, cadmium and other ‘materials of concern’.

25. Research Projects QC-21 Greening the Aerospace Supply Chain Term: 2 years Objective: Define a supply chain management framework to provide industrials with the capacity to prioritize eco-responsible purchasing actions, define technologies’ green specifications and efficiently treat environmental information. The acquired knowledge will offer a collaboration model fully adapted to the Canadian aerospace sector, facilitating ecodesign across the supply chain.

26. Research Projects BA-22 Airframe Noise Reduction for Business and Commercial Aircraft Term: 4 years Objective: Reduce noise impact of aircraft operations in the vicinity of airports by leveraging new technologies, developing new design methodology and maturing concepts in support of a low-noise large regional turboprop aircraft. The project will lay groundwork to help reducing the adverse effects of the expected large increase in aircraft traffic volumes in Canada and elsewhere in the next decades.
