Following the successful Early Stage Catalyst, this project will seek to develop the actively controlled, textile-tensioned blade technology to a prototype stage. The key work-packages are:WP1: wind tunnel tests to validate the blade power performance. The Aerospace Sciences Division at the University of Glasgow (UG) will be in charge of the test design, execution and results validation. The tests will cover both the passive and actively controlled blade. The models for the passive blade will be manufactured by the UG, while Smar Azure (SA) will provide the blade models for the active blade. Ore Catapult (CA) will advise on the development and testing process.The work package will comprise three sub-packages: (a) evaluation of the static aerodynamic characteristics of aerofoil sections representative of the undeformed and deformed blade. (b) evaluation of the static aerodynamic and deformation characteristics of a representative section of the new, flexible blade concept;(c) evaluation of the static aerodynamic characteristics of the active blade concept with different candidate actuators.WP2: textile tests to validate erosion and durability. WP2 will be carried out by SA and CA. Dimension Polyant (DP), the world leader textile manufacturer, will supply the materials.WP3: engineering and production optimization, including design of embedded control systems, active control and production cost reduction. WP3 will be carried out by SA in collaboration with CA. It will be necessary to contact sensors and carbon artefact providers to optimise the manufacturing and reduce the production costs. WP4: build a blade prototype for testing purposes. Ideally, it will be taken to a small rig for initial tests in a real environment. WP5: commercial strategy development (SA and CA).

继早期催化剂取得成功之后，该项目将寻求将主动控制的织物张紧叶片技术开发到原型阶段。关键工作包是： WP1：风洞测试，以验证叶片功率性能。格拉斯哥大学（UG）航空航天科学部将负责测试设计、执行和结果验证。测试将涵盖被动和主动控制叶片。无源刀片的型号将由 UG 制造，而 Smar Azure (SA) 将提供有源刀片的刀片型号。 Ore Catapult (CA) 将就开发和测试过程提供建议。该工作包将包括三个子包： (a) 评估代表未变形和变形叶片的翼型截面的静态空气动力特性。 (b) 评估新的柔性叶片概念的代表性部分的静态空气动力学和变形特性；(c) 评估具有不同候选执行器的主动叶片概念的静态空气动力学特性。WP2：纺织品测试，以验证侵蚀和耐用性。 WP2将由SA和CA执行。世界领先的纺织品制造商Dimension Polyant (DP)将提供材料。WP3：工程和生产优化，包括嵌入式控制系统的设计、主动控制和生产成本降低。 WP3 将由 SA 与 CA 合作开展。有必要联系传感器和碳制品供应商来优化制造并降低生产成本。 WP4：构建用于测试目的的刀片原型。理想情况下，它将被带到一个小型装备上，在真实环境中进行初步测试。 WP5：商业战略制定（SA 和 CA）。
