9 Cooperation with Industry Ultralight airplane KP-2U SOVA (Owl) design and structural tests. Joint project of IAE and KAPPA77, a.s. VUT100 COBRA design and certification. Cooperation with EVEKTOR, s r.o. (partially supported also by Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade), end of the development end certification stage EV-55 - development of new small transport airplane. Coordinated by EVEKTOR, supported by Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade. RAPID modification of original PK-2U for US market. Joint project of IAE and JIHLAVAN AEROPLANES (partially supported also by Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade), ( ) Ae-270 aerodynamic and structural analyses, static and fatigue certification tests. G-304S modernization of full composite glider (Major IAE projects)

10 Examples of IAE projects

11 KP-2U Sova (Owl) Rapid 200 Joint project of Institute of Aerospace Engineering and Kappa77, a.s. under the lead of prof. Pistek. Airplane in ultralight category validated basic aerodynamic concept later applied on VUT100. Expedition 100 FSI VUT KP-2U Sova Over 180 airplanes build, most of them exported abroad

12 History of the project Project TP 41 project under the leadership of prof. Pistek was based on the project Z80 (study from 90 s made by IAE). Predecessor of VUT100. Mockup was presented on Aerosalon in Paris VUT100 Cobra TP-41 Project VUT100 project of IAE from Close cooperation with EVEKTOR s r.o. Supported also by Ministry of Industry and Trade (Czech Republic) VUT100

14 VUT100 Cobra Stress analysis Examples of IAE s contribution to VUT100 project Aerodynamic analyses Dynamic analysis

15 VUT 001 Marabu Development of civil UAV supported by Ministry of Industry and Trade (Czech Republic), held together with industrial partners ( ) Main aims: Development of a flying testbed Development and tests of equipment suit for civil UAVs (based partially on COTS components) Development of new propulsion units

16 Impact of industrial and international cooperation on education Practical design experience participation on the development of airplanes for civil market (Ae-270, KP-2U/Rapid200, VUT100, etc.) primary objective of the university is education of engineers State-of-the-art technologies participation on international projects brings new technologies Education of young scientists Ph.D. students form key part of IAE research manpower Contacts on international level State-of-the-art equipment and laboratories including certified testing lab. (CAA approved) all invitations for cooperation on the field of aerospace engineering are welcome
