Bruno Beral, Airbus
“Nanotechnology: Potential benefits for future airframes”

Pilot Project Concept topics related to Session S10: Amongst the 7 Pilot Projects that will be discussed during the process workshops, we feel that the content of topics P1, P2, P4, and P6 would perhaps enhance the material presented at this Session.

•  Nano-composite Materials

•  MNT Based Harsh Environment Sensors

• Reliability Testing of Micro-Sensors, Micro-Actuators and Micro-Switches

• Aircraft/Spacecraft Structural Health Monitoring System
