EXPEED

EXPEED is led by Chalmers in close collaboration with GKN Aerospace and aims to seek potential in co-utilizing system modelling and design methods and tools developed at NASA (US), Cranfield University and Cambridge University (UK) as well as Chalmers and GKN Aerospace (SE). The goal is to identify, cross-fertilize and sample a set of existing tools available, as well as clarifying deficiencies. Potential for continued development is expected, including how a reference model can be used.

The project is expected to foster collaboration between leading aviation research actors within advanced system modelling and system design in Europe and the USA, and to lead to proposals for continued and scaled-up joint research activities. As all actors have strong relationships with their respective countries' aviation industry, both military and commercial, and are in several cases customers or partners with, for example, GKN Aerospace, effective research and development efforts are expected to be strengthened.
