Abstract :
In the last years, the Cleansky EU programme has been promoting research towards new concepts in aircraft and avionic design in order to enhance sustainability and flight security. The X-WALD project, in the framework of Cleansky programme, focuses on the validation of algorithms for the evaluation of hazards coming from meteorological conditions encountered in flight. The validation will be performed exploiting both data coming from an advanced polarimetric weather radar simulator and data collected by an aircraft during an experimental campaign.
