Project of the 7th Framework
Program of the EU - WASIS
The main objective of WASIS project is the development of a composite fuselage structure based on the lattice stiffening concept and optimizing geometrical and mass properties of transition zones of fuselage structural joints. The proposed concepts were tried out on specimens and prototypes, and fully representative fuselage sections were manufactured for final testing and validation.
