TOPFAN - TECHNOLOGIES FOR INTEGRATION OF NEW GENERATION OPEN FAN MOTORS
CENTER FOR INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT (CDTI)
The objective of the TOPFAN project is to investigate the necessary technologies for integrating next generation USF / Open Fan engines into the architecture of future generation aircraft. These technologies could contribute to more efficient aviation in the medium term, with reduced net emissions as well as a considerable reduction in the acoustic impact.
This project has been subsidised by the CDTI with file number PTAG-20231001 through the 2023 funding call of the “Programa Tecnologico Aeronautico” programme, within the framework of the “Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia” (financed by Next Generation EU funds, including the “Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia”) and the “Programa Estatal para Catalizar la Innovación y el Liderazgo Empresarial del Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2021-2023” programme.
H2APS: A New Lighter-Than-Air Pseudo-Satellite Concept
Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI)
H2APS is an innovative project that aims to develop a new lighter-than-air high-altitude pseudo-satellite platform. This platform will be designed to operate in the stratosphere for long periods of time and will be more cost-effective than traditional satellites.
H2APS will use a combination of technologies to achieve its goal, including:
Hydrogen: Hydrogen will be used to lift the platform to the stratosphere and as a backup power system.
Composite materials: The platform will be constructed from lightweight and strong composite materials.
Autonomous control systems: The platform will be equipped with autonomous control systems that will allow it to maintain its position and perform assigned tasks.
H2APS will have a wide range of potential applications, including:
Communications: The platform can be used to provide communications services to remote or underserved areas.
Surveillance: The platform can be used to monitor the environment or critical infrastructure.
Science: The platform can be used to conduct scientific research in the stratosphere.
H2APS will offer a number of benefits over traditional satellites, including:
Lower cost: H2APS will be cheaper to develop and launch than traditional satellites.
Greater flexibility: H2APS can be deployed and recovered more easily than traditional satellites.
Greater sustainability: H2APS will use more sustainable technologies than traditional satellites.
The H2APS project is being developed by a consortium of Spanish companies and institutions, led by CITD Engineering & Technologies. The project is funded by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
The H2APS project is expected to have a significant impact on the Spanish aerospace industry. The project could help to position Spain as a leader in the development of new space technologies.
The H2APS project is an example of the innovation that is taking place in Spain in the aerospace sector. The project has the potential to revolutionize the way we use space and create new opportunities for Spanish industry.
In this project, Prosix contributes its knowledge and experience in composite materials and manufacturing.
cryogenic hydrogen tanks for zero-emission aircraft
The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism (MINCOTUR)
The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism (MINCOTUR) has announced the granting of a €2.5 million subsidy to a consortium led by the company CITD and also composed of the companies PROSIX, KING MARINE and SUPRASYS for the development of cryogenic hydrogen tanks for zero-emission aircraft, in which Prosix together with King Marine make all manufacturing possible.
The project, called TANKZZERO, has the main objective of raising the maturity level of the cryogenic hydrogen tank concept in carbon fibre reinforced composite material for commercial aviation.
This cryogenic hydrogen storage tank concept has been developed thanks to the 2021 Aeronautical Technology Plan in the «ZERO» project in a consortium led by Airbus where CITD has participated in defining the tank structure reaching TRL2-3.
TANK2ZERO seeks to demonstrate the viability of the CFRP cryogenic tank solution by investigating and identifying solutions to the open points identified in the previous phase. Study the use of liquid hydrogen at cryogenic temperatures in commercial aviation.
The project is financed under the Aeronautical Technology Program (PTAP), subsidized by the CDTI in the 2023 call, through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, with funds provided by the European Union through the Next Generation program.
In general, the development of technology for zero-emission aircraft is a rapidly growing field of research. This technology is expected to have a significant impact on the aviation industry in the coming years.

The FLEXWING project aims to study and develop morphing structures (supporting structures with the capacity to change shape in a way similar to a bird’s wing) to be applied to commercial aviation environments.
The ultimate objective of the project is to research morphing technologies that can be applied to any trailing edge of an aircraft wing, thus improving its aerodynamic efficiency and reducing the aircraft’s fuel consumption. This development will enable more efficient structures and aircraft that will significantly reduce fuel consumption and therefore CO2 emissions in commercial aircraft, aligning the proposal with the environmental objectives of the European Union.
This project is being carried out by a consortium of companies where Ingeniería Prosix S.L partners with Cálculo y Estructuras Sensadas S.L., Mecanizados S.A. and Comet Ingeniería SL.
The project has received European and CDTI funding within the framework of the Aeronautical Technology Program of the State Program to catalyze innovation and business leadership of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
