At HERFUSE, we know that true success comes from collaboration, not competition. As part of the HERA ecosystem, we work hand in hand with key projects like HERWINGT and HECATE to shape the future of sustainable aviation.
Under the umbrella of HERA project, HERFUSE integrates disruptive technologies for fuselage and tail planes. This partnership strengthens the structural and regulatory foundation for sustainable aviation. HERFUSE contributes by developing integration solutions for the advanced fuselage and tail plane technologies, testing structural items to support HERA’s demonstration strategies, and assisting in regulatory compliance, standardization, and impact monitoring. HERA, in turn, provides HERFUSE with design requirements for fuselage and tail planes, creates digital simulation models for aircraft systems, and defines data types, schedules, and formats for impact monitoring.
The collaboration between HERFUSE and the HERWINGT Project is instrumental in advancing hybrid-electric regional aircraft. By joining forces, both initiatives contribute to Clean Aviation’s mission, funded by the European Union, to develop sustainable solutions for the industry. HERFUSE plays a crucial role in implementing key functions for new propulsion and associated systems while ensuring seamless fuselage-to-wing integration. In turn, HERWINGT supports HERFUSE by providing expertise in high aspect ratio wing configurations, advancing high-lift wing development with subsystem integration, delivering critical design inputs and interfacing solutions, and integrating essential technologies for hybrid-electric aircraft development.
The collaboration between HERFUSE and HECATE ensures optimized aircraft integration and regulatory compliance, further advancing the evolution of sustainable aviation. HERFUSE supports HECATE by addressing aircraft integration constraints and system interfaces while defining operative and functional features for the fuselage and empennage. At the same time, HECATE ensures compliance with certification regulations, assesses component and system performance through detailed analysis, and evaluates integration challenges for critical aircraft components.
Through these vital collaborations, HERFUSE is leaving a lasting impact on the future of aviation, reinforcing the industry's transition towards cleaner and more efficient air travel.
