Original abstract

The paper describes activities related to safety assessment of futuristic personal plane concept, done by researchers at Institute of Aerospace Engineering (IAE), Brno University of Technology as a part of FP7 PPlane research project. Activities under PPlane project were done in joint cooperation with international research team led by ONERA (France). The 7.FP EU project PPlane is aimed to identify potential new concepts and technologies for future air transport – namely to create future Personal Air Transport System (PATS). The personal air vehicle is understood as to be analogous to private car in terms of accessibility and ease of operation. Such new transportation system can help to reduce congestion on roads and enable more efficient transportation of passengers to their destinations. Introduction of PATS is a long-term goal which requires considerable progress beyond the current state-of-the-art in technology, as well as in related areas. The major enabling technology is believed to be high level of automation in new air vehicles, requiring no or small piloting skills of passengers.

Článek se zabývá bezpečností a spolehlivostí letadel spadajících pod futuristický koncept letadel pro osobní přepravu. Pokrývá aktivity Leteckého ústavu, VUT v Brně v mezinárodním výzkumném projektu PPLANE (7.RP). Na projektu spolupracuje mezinárodní tým pod vedením francouzského výzkumného ústavu ONERA. Je zaměřen na identifikaci konceptů a budoucích technologií pro budoucí leteckou přepravu – s využitím prostředků osobní přepravy letadly s malým počtem pasažérů. Klíčovou technologií, umožňující rozvoj konceptu, je vysoká míra automatizace.
