Context & Ambitions

As weather hazards are becoming more serious and frequent and other hazards are emerging through the gradual introduction of new technologies such as drones or new fuel and energy aircraft systems, there is a need to reassess current aircraft operating practices and infrastructures to ensure that the appropriate level of resilience exists faced with these new threats to ensure that current safety levels can be continuously improved.

Above all, ALBATROS aims to improve the resilience of aircraft and airports whilst increasing the survivability of passengers, crew and aviation-related workforces such as ground handlers and emergency personnel.

Validating Project Outcomes in real-world environments

ALBATROS seeks to validate and demonstrate its project outcomes in relevant environments through a series of 15 exercises. Four distinct validation methodologies will be employed: workshop materials, airport exercises, real-time simulation, and laboratory testing.

The image below illustrates this validation process. You can expand the toggles to learn more or read further details here.

Demo 1 New Hazards in aviation: Safety assessment studies focusing on new and emerging hazards in aviation, including weather-related events and risks associated with electric-hydrogen powered aircraft and new aircraft entrants.
