| Optimization technology and methods for the innovative design of efficient civilian and military aircraft. | |
| Bby Dr. Gerd Schuhmacher Building aircraft is a complex balancing act. Manufacturers must design structures that are robust, yet lightweight. Planes must be capable of carrying increasingly heavy payloads, without sacrificing fuel efficiency. And above all, aircraft must be completely reliable under every circumstance. During the design process, strength, buckling, durability, damage tolerance requirements, etc. must be adressed — under time restrictions. Therefore, the design process for new ai | |

| The increasing number of bird-plane impacts gives rise to new CAE methods to address aircraft safety. | |
| Bird strikes have been occurring for more than a century. In fact, Orville Wright was the rst to report a bird strike in 1905. In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notes that bird strikes occur during daylight hours, usually during a plane-s approach and landing roll.
