The MicroLub project aims to develop an innovative technique for micro-lubrication of cutting tools for various manufacturing machines.

The following benefits are expected:

The project aims to develop the ability to design and manufacture using computer aided engineering (CAE), and to assembly and test Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) in a    one-piece configuration called Blisk.  
 

In recent years, the market for Vertical Take-Off and Landing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (VTOL MUAV) has grown exponentially. To answer to the market evolution, FLYING-CAM developed an electrically motorized helicopter called  «SARAH» pushing technology to the state-of-the-art on the world map.

The market has pushed Flying-cam to launch a research that will extend their knowledge to develop a long-range version of the Flying-Cam III SARAH. This new functionality will address, for example, the needs of civilian  and homeland security  applications.

The von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) is a non-profit international educational and research organisation specialized in Fluid Dynamics, in the areas of Aeronautics & Space, Environmental & Industrial Flows, and Turbomachinery & Propulsion. What started in 1956 with international postgraduate education, has developed into a widely recognized center of excellence in fluid dynamics, combining education and research in a truly international and intercultural environment.

Most of the research at UMONS is organized in 10 institutes which cover: New Arts and Media Technologies (NUMEDIART), Biosciences (BIOSCIENCES), Information Technologies and Informatics (INFORTECH), Language Sciences and Engineering (LANGUAGE), Materials Sciences and Engineering (MATERIALS), Risk Management Sciences (RISKS), Complex Systems (COMPLEXYS), Energy (ENERGY), Health Sciences and Technologies (HEALTH), Human and Organizational Research and Development (HUMANORG).
