This is a proposal for a research project that aims to fulfil the objectives as set up in the Call SP1-JTI-CS-2013-01-GRA-02-023. Therefore, will investigate advanced design and simulation methods for Load control and alleviation devices and high lift devices. The research will focus on novel methods for modelling of aerodynamic loads on flexible bodies, modelling of actuators and methods for coupled simulation. The novel methods will be evaluated in context of preliminary and detailed design studies of 4 mechanisms as specified in the call:

1. Krueger Flap (GTF)
2. Single Slotted Flap (GTF)
3. LC&A devices
4. Single Slotted Flap (TP)

NOVOTECH will be responsible for the preliminary design studies and knowledge transfer. LMS will be responsible for the detailed conceptual designs and management of the project.
