The infrastructure supports our partners in their efforts to develop technologies or to test their system integration. All infrastructure belongs to ZAL and can be rented over different periods of time. The idea is that joint use creates synergies from which all partners benefit equally.<\/p>\n

Aircraft fuselages of every size up to the A350 fit into the semi-anechoic chamber of the laboratory.<\/p>\n

Application Focus<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Vibro-acoustic investigation for low-noise aircraft cabins<\/li>\n
  • New passive and active noise reduction<\/li>\n
  • Verification and improvement of numerical and analytical models<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Technical Data<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Large semi-anechoic chamber (d x w x h: 22.72 m x 11.92 m x 8.71 m) for determination of sound power and levels according to ISO 3745 (accuracy class 1)<\/li>\n
    • Meets acoustic requirements according to ISO 26101 up to a track length of 6.90 m above 80 Hz<\/li>\n
    • Large door with dimensions of 6.85 m x 7.90 m (W x H), suitable for A320, A340 and A350 fuselage segments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

We focus on research\u00a0opportunities for the safe civilian use of hydrogen. In fact,\u00a0electrical systems powered by fuel cells present an efficient and\u00a0more environmentally\u00a0friendly possibility to ensure the electrical\u00a0power supply of today’s and tomorrow’s aircraft and thereby reducing\u00a0emissions. Before this backdrop, the Fuel Cell Lab occupies a special\u00a0position compared to other research areas at ZAL. It is the only\u00a0research area that does not focus\u00a0exclusively on aerospace, but is\u00a0open to partners from other industries, such as the automotive and\u00a0shipping industries.[\/vc_column_text][vc_basic_grid post_type=”person” max_items=”1″ element_width=”12″ gap=”0″ item=”1993″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1683184086310-d4dc1e84-e59c-2″ taxonomies=”212″ el_class=”mitarbeiter-staff-personen”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”cabin-and-cargo-test-rig” el_class=”accordeon_section”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Cabin & Cargo Test Rig” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”push_nav_headline”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”section__toggle_content”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2726″ img_size=”large” el_class=”zal-image-large”][vc_column_text]Test\u00a0the entire aircraft: if you want to experiment with the latest\u00a0developments in aircraft cabin and cargo, then our Cabin & Cargo\u00a0Test Rig is right for you. The ten-meter-high cabin and cargo test rig\u00a0offers more than 200 square meters of space for conducting experiments and testing and\u00a0researching new\u00a0cabin technologies. The facility is also ideal for working with\u00a0fuselage segments of aircraft from the A320 to the A380.<\/p>\n
