Description of the organisation

IBK was established 1985 as engineering office in Nürnberg. Nowadays, with their headquarter in Hamburg and a second office in Nuremberg, IBK counts about 14 employees working on several topics dealing with technology development and validation in aeronautics and defence.

IBK is a very well-known R&D service provider with strong European customer/ partner network, including all the most important European Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and research organizations such as Airbus Operations, Airbus Defence and Space, Dassault Aviation, Leonardo, RUAG, ONERA, DLR, CIRA and many others.

A strong experience in managing EU-funded projects, and recognized technical expertise on aircraft design (including innovative configurations), loads, aeroelasticity, prototype design and testing, technology development and validation through ground and flight tests, compete the IBK profile.

Role in the CRYOSTAR Project

IBK will support the project by having strong footprints in the work-packages 3 and 4. In both cases IBK will make use of its competences by preparing:

Design solutions for dedicated topics.
Simulating aircraft components under various conditions targeting to acquire loads and understand dynamic structural responses.
Perform sloshing simulations with fast methods to quickly support design activities.
Analyses/ assess the structures to ensure the correct structural response is created.

More important, IBK will also support the very important work-package 2 which is tasked to work on regulatory problems. IBK has performed a similar when coordinating the project SARAH, in which EASA was integrated and supporting the topics of this problem with regard to the rule-making perspective.
