Fibre reinforced polymers are important materials used in aviation due to their excellent specific properties enabling the reduction of fuel consumption. For example, carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resins are used in fuselage and wing structures. Glass fibre reinforced phenolic resins are mainly used for the interior panels due to their low weight and favourable fire properties. All these composite materials used in aviation have one thing in common: they are man-made. Renewable materials like bio-fibres and bio-resins are under investigation for a long time for composites but they did not made it into modern aircraft in high amounts yet. The project ECO-COMPASS under Horizon 2020 aims to bundle the knowledge of 19 partners from China and Europe to develop ecological improved composites for the use in aircraft interior and secondary structures. Bio-based reinforcements, epoxy resin and sandwich cores are developed and improved for their application in aviation. Furthermore the use of recycled carbon fibres to increase the mechanical strength and multifunctional aspects of bio-composites are evaluated. In order to withstand the special stresses in aviation environment, protection technologies to mitigate the risks of fire, lightning and moisture uptake are under investigation. An adapted modelling and simulation will enable the optimization of the composite design. Electrical conductive composites for electromagnetic interference shielding and lightning strike protection are under investigation in ECO-COMPASS as well. The cooperation includes the exchange of knowledge and materials in order to optimize the development of ecological friendly composites. The aim of the presentation at the ICSI2019 conference is to give an overview of the project objectives and its special background with the collaboration of Chinese and European partners. Selected topics and final results of the ECO-COMPASS project will be presented. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 690638 and the Special Research Plan on Civil Aircraft of Ministry for Industry and Information of the People's Republic of China (MIIT) under Grant No MJ-2015-H-G-103.

Fibre reinforced polymers such as CFRP and GFRP are important materials used in aviation due to their excellent specific properties enabling the reduction of fuel consumption. All these composite materials used in aviation are man-made. Renewable materials like bio-fibres and bio-resins are under investigation for a long time but they did not made it into modern aircraft in high amounts yet. The Horizon 2020 project ECO-COMPASS bundled the knowledge of 19 partners from China and Europe to develop ecological improved composites for the application in aircraft interior and secondary structures. Bio-based reinforcements, epoxy resins and hybrid sandwich cores were developed. Recycled carbon fibres have been mixed with natural fibres to increase the mechanical properties in comparison to pure natural fibre reinforced composites. In order to withstand the special stresses in aviation environment, protection technologies to mitigate the risks of fire and lightning strike were under investigation. An adapted modelling and simulation helped with the optimization of the composite design. Electrical conductive composites for electromagnetic interference shielding and lightning strike protection were under investigation in order to improve the multifunctional aspects of high performance composites. The aim of the presentation is to give an overview of the project results and its special background with the collaboration of Chinese and European partners.

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) are important materials used in aviation due to their excellent mechanical properties combined with relatively low weight enabling the reduction of fuel consumption. For example, expensive carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resins are used in fuselage and wing structures. Glass fibre reinforced phenolic resins are mainly used for the interior panels due to their low weight and favourable fire properties.

Composites are important materials used in aviation due to their excellent mechanical properties combined with relatively low weight enabling the reduction of fuel consumption. Expensive carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resins are used in fuselage and wing structures and increasingly compete with classic metals. Glass fibre reinforced phenolic resins are mainly used for the interior panels due to their low weight and favourable fire properties. All these composite materials used in aviation have one thing in common: they are man-made. Renewable materials like bio-fibres and bio-resins are under investigation for a long time for composites but they did not made it into modern aircraft in high amounts yet. The project ECO-COMPASS started in April 2016 under Horizon 2020 and aims to bundle the knowledge of 17 partners in China and Europe to develop ecological improved composites for the use in aircraft interior and secondary structures. With a duration of three years the cooperation aims to deepen the general relationship between both continents. Bio-based reinforcements, resins and sandwich cores will be developed and optimized for their application in aviation.
