Aircraft Powerline Communication (TAUPE European Project)
Thursday 25th March
9am - 5pm
Cost: €55

TAUPE is a collaborative research project co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It addresses the aeronautic sector and is composed of 17 partners from 6 European countries.  The project lasts 3 years (September 2008 – August 2011), is led by Labinal and has a budget of 5.5M€.

TAUPE stands for Transmission in Aircraft on Unique Path wirEs.

The project aims to simplify the electrical architecture of aircraft and to reduce the length and mass of cabling by introducing PLC (PowerLine Communication) or PoD (Power over Data) technologies inside aircraft. Both technologies essentially aim to supply power and data over the same cable.

The TAUPE results will address the ACARE SRA, particularly concerning:

• weight reduction
• easy and cost effective installation and retrofit
• cost effective maintenance
