Innovative Concepts

Individual Seat Climatisation is researched at EADS using new concepts to improve the level of cabin comfort. Cabin Air Purification is researched and developed at EADS to maintain the high quality level of cabin air. Our chemical process engineers develop new technologies for cabin air purification.  Based on membrane technologies we research and develop gas and liquid exchange processes, for controlling the cabin environment. One parameter to be controlled is the humidity level of cabin seats. A new humidity management concept for individual seat climatisation is being researched, based on electroosmosis, a well known electrokinetic phenomenon.

Laser for optical air data systems (OADS) for the measurement of the true air speed (TAS) and gust detection for aircrafts.The laser offers exceptional properties for OADS-applications: single frequency operation, narrow bandwidth, high stability, short pulse duration, UV - wavelength - range. This enables measurements of backscattered light from molecules (Rayleigh-scattering). The laser radiation is generated by a compact unit existing of a diode pumped ring oscillator - amplifier - system followed by a nonlinear frequency converter. The green light stems from the second harmonic generation process which is necessary to produce the UV - radiation by means of a further sum frequency mixing stage. A first prototype - version has passed several flight tests successfully.
