Engineering reliability: modelling uncertainty in next-generation engine performance

Engineering reliability: modelling uncertainty in next-generation engine performance

16 Jun , 2026 - News,Social Media

Reliability is built through continuous validation, modelling and operational support. Recent industry updates show how the LEAP engine support ecosystem is expanding, with new MRO capabilities designed to strengthen maintenance capacity and support the world’s fastest-growing engine family. In DEMOQUAS, engine performance modelling is a key research area. Physics-based models, surrogate models and uncertainty quantification […]

Hydrogen aviation: from technological promise to certifiable safety

Hydrogen aviation: from technological promise to certifiable safety

9 Jun , 2026 - News,Social Media

Hydrogen has strong potential for low-carbon aviation, but its adoption depends on more than technology readiness. Safety, certification, airport operations and infrastructure must evolve together. Across Europe, projects and regulators are working on liquid hydrogen refuelling, ground operations, standardisation and certification frameworks. DEMOQUAS contributes to this broader transition by addressing uncertainty in hydrogen-related aircraft and […]

SAF scale-up: why supply uncertainty is also a safety and planning issue

SAF scale-up: why supply uncertainty is also a safety and planning issue

2 Jun , 2026 - News,Social Media

Sustainable Aviation Fuels are central to aviation decarbonisation, but scaling SAF is not only a production challenge. Recent sector updates show that SAF supply, feedstock availability, market concentration and cost remain key uncertainties for airlines, airports and fuel suppliers. For DEMOQUAS, this reinforces a core message: sustainability and safety must advance together. By embedding uncertainty […]

AI, human factors and uncertainty: a safer path for aviation

26 May , 2026 - News,Social Media

Artificial Intelligence is entering aviation safety, but trust, assurance and human factors remain essential. In 2025, EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) published its first regulatory proposal on Artificial Intelligence trustworthiness for the safe use of AI in aviation, addressing key aspects such as AI assurance, human factors and ethics. Within DEMOQUAS, Aristotle University of […]

Digital twins need uncertainty quantification to support safety-critical decisions

Digital twins need uncertainty quantification to support safety-critical decisions

19 May , 2026 - News,Social Media

Digital twins are reshaping aerospac: from design and manufacturing to operations and maintenance. But digital evidence must be credible to support safety-critical decisions. That is why verification, validation and uncertainty quantification are essential. DEMOQUAS is working to make aircraft and engine design tools “UQ-enabled”, supporting digital threads, digital twins and future virtual certification pathways for […]
