The Cluster of Excellence SE²A - Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation [EXC 2163] is an interdisciplinary research network in which the interdisciplinary expertise of national and international research partners is pooled. It develops ideas and solutions for a more climate-friendly aviation of the future. To this end, an internationally leading structure of basic research for aviation, energy technology and a holistic system evaluation is used. Basic research lays the foundation for the necessary technologies not only in the field of aircraft, but also in the field of energy sources and beyond, including questions of acceptance and expectations of air traffic in the year 2050. In addition to IFAS and other institutes of the Technische Universität Braunschweig, Leibniz Universität Hannover, the German Aerospace Center, the Braunschweig University of Art, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt and the Delft University of Technology are also active in the Cluster of Excellence.
With the major goal of climate-neutral flying, we are conducting research on potentials and synergies through highly integrated aircraft development in numerous sub-projects at TU Braunschweig, University of Stuttgart, LUH Hannover and DLR Braunschweig in the new transregio SynTrac collaborative research centre. We use interactions of the disciplines aerodynamics, acoustics, flight physics, structural mechanics and thermodynamics through a multidisciplinary, cross-system view of the aircraft development process to develop future highly efficient aircraft through innovative approaches.
The national and international individual and joint projects of the respective research group are listed below.
