ANTELOPE
Lead Participant:
SAFRAN NACELLES LTD
Abstract
The ANTELOPE project aims to investigate key technologies within a civil nacelle for Long range aircraft
designed to reduce the impact of moving to future engine architectures, such as Ultra High Bypass Ratio
engines. Through this project, the consortium will examine technologies aiming to reduce Fuel burn from an
Integrated Powerplant System through examining topics impacting weight and drag. The project also aims to
develop technologies to increase the functionality of the nacelle such that it may support the engine in
producing a better optimised solution, leading to improved propulsion efficiency from the Powerplant.
