The research project is part of the
Leading-Edge Cluster Competition of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research
Aviation Cluster Hamburg Metropolitan Region
Lighthouse Project 3: Airport 2030
Work Package 4: Aircraft Configurations for Efficient Ground Operations
Work Task 4.1: Evolutionary Aircraft Configurations
Duration: 1st December 2008 - 31th January 2014
Work task 4.1 was led by HAW Hamburg. Airbus contributed to the work task by participating in the definition of requirements and by discussing results. Investigations were based on experience from the project ALOHA. The research project had to concentrate on a rather near term time horizon for the implementation of the technologies. Hence the development of rather practical, conventional, and evolutionary aircraft configurations was the task of the project. For the same reason only limited modifications to the airport infrastructure were envisaged. The innovative solutions were assessed with respect to their Direct Operating Costs (DOC) and their environmental impact.
Dipl.-Ing. Andreas Johanning was working on the project during its main and final phase (2011-05-01 to 2014-01-31). Mr. Johanning was PhD student at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with the Technical University of Munich. Mr. Johanning continued the research with the topic Integration of Life Cycle Assessment in Preliminary Aircraft Design, financed by a grant from German Federal Environmental Foundation.
Other employees working for some time on the project at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (in chronological order): Dipl.-Ing. Philip Krammer, MSc; Dipl.-Ing. Mihaela Niţă (heute: Dr.-Ing. Mihaela Man); Dipl.-Ing. Daniel Schiktanz, MSc; Priyanka Barua, B.Tech (Hons.); Tahir Sousa, B.Tech (Hons.); Dipl.-Ing. Ricardo Caja Calleja, MSc; Dipl.-Ing. Liana Urseanu (BSc). Many students supported the research with a project report or a final thesis. Other students contributed during an internship or as student assistant. Subcontractors were MAXKON with the study "Airport Compatibility of Medium Range Aircraft with Large Wing Span" (author: Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Wuttke) and Philcrafter (Maynila, the Philippines) who manufactured the aircraft models.

The turboprop driven aircraft was identified as a possible candidate for the next generation of short and medium range aircraft.
