Researchers at the University of York’s Department of Electronics have won a €1 million European grant to improve aircraft design that minimizes the risk of electromagnetic interference. At present, aircraft are thoroughly tested for electromagnetic vulnerability, but often testing comes during the later stages of the production project. The effort at York is part of a €28 million pan-European project that will improve computer-based modeling used by designers so that potential EMI problems are indentified as early in the design process as possible. Additionally, the research team will concentrate on devising new computer-aided tools for aircraft manufacturers and will deliver seminars across Europe designed to encourage more scientists and engineers to take an interest in this field.
