3 Some Challenges to Aviation in 2005 Global Warming is a world-wide recognised issue Crude oil price above 70 $/ barrel in Autumn 2005 Global demand for oil will raise (GDP of China +9% per annum) Considerations for a CO² tax in Europe Investigation on true impact of aviation to global warming DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May

4 F (cf. ACARE / SRA) Rationale More stringent society demands in response to air transport growth (environment, safety, travel cost, security,..) High socio-economic impact of the aeronautics and air transport industry. Significant market opportunities (14000 new aircraft needed in the next 15 years worth 1 trillion) Technology-dependent sector (~ R&D = 15% of turnover), but in disadvantage with respect to its main competitors with regard to public support to its RTD effort All the stake holders have agreed in ACARE a Strategic Research Agenda, which calls for implementation in order to realise the Vision 2020 goals DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May th Framework Programme Aeronautics and Air Transport

6 DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May Commission Proposal for F.P.7 Transport (including Aeronautics) ( ) Objectives: Based on technological advances, develop integrated, greener and smarter pan-european transport systems for the benefit of the citizen and society, respecting the environment and natural resources; Securing and further developing the leading role attained by the European industries in the global market Activities: Aeronautics and Air Transport The greening of air transport Increasing time efficiency Ensuring customer satisfaction and safety Improving cost efficiency Protecting of aircraft and passengers Pioneering the air transport of the future Surface Transport (rail, road and waterborne) Support to the European Global Satellite Navigation System (Galileo)

7 Aeronautics and Air Transport Research Themes (1) The Greening of Air Transport Conforms to the Ultra Green HLTC of ACARE s Strategic Research Agenda Embraces both the global issue of climate change (CO 2, Nox, Soot, water vapour, particulates) as well as the local issues of noise and air quality Addresses green engine technologies, alternative fuels, novel aircraft /engine configurations, intelligent low-weight structures, improved aerodynamic efficiency, airport operations and air traffic management as well as manufacturing and recycling processes. DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May

8 Aeronautics and Air Transport Aeronautics and Air Transport Research Themes (2) Increasing Time Efficiency Conforms to the Highly Time Efficient HLTC of ACARE s Strategic Research Agenda. Aims at significant reduction of journey time through maintaining flight time within schedule and minimising the time that passengers have to spend in airports in the travelrelated process. Addresses the development and implementation of an innovative air traffic managements system integrating the air, ground and space components, and featuring greater automation, flexibility and aircraft autonomy. Addresses as well airlines and airports operations. DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May

9 Aeronautics and Air Transport Research Themes (3) Ensuring Customer Satisfaction and Safety Conforms to the Highly Costumer Oriented HLTC of ACARE s Strategic Research Agenda, underlining the safety objective. Aims at a quantum leap in passengers choice and schedule flexibility as well as at a significant reduction in accident rate in respond to the forecasted growth in air travel demand. Addresses the technologies and services which will enable a transport system with a wider choice of aircraft ranging from very large airliners, medium size, business jets, tilt rotors to personal, small-size aircraft, with the highest levels of safety as well as comfort, health conditions and services. DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May

10 Aeronautics and Air Transport Aeronautics and Air Transport Research Themes (4) Improving Cost Efficiency Conforms to the Highly Cost Efficient HLTC of ACARES s Strategic Research Agenda. Embraces all the cost that arise in the whole air system design and operation. Addresses the tools and technologies required to enhance the whole enterprise process, including the integration of the supply chain, from conceptual design to product development and manufacturing including in-service operations. Addresses as well the developments needed towards the zeromaintenance aircraft, as well as towards lean airport, aircraft and air traffic management operations for substantial reduction of operating cost. DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May

11 Aeronautics and Air Transport Research Themes (5) Protection of Aircraft and Passengers Conforms to the Ultra Secure Air Transport System HLTC of ACARE s Strategic Research Agenda. Aims to making impossible that an attacking force of any kind succeeds in creating injury, loss, damage or disruption either on the travellers or on citizens. Addresses aircraft security systems, including cockpit and cabin monitoring and protection as well as controlled aircraft operation and landing from ground, secured airspace management and communication networks, as well as airport security systems. DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May

12 Aeronautics and Air Transport Aeronautics and Air Transport Research Themes (6) Pioneering the Air Transport of the Future Stretches the Vision 2020 horizon to explore and pioneer the more radical, revolutionary, environmentally efficient and innovative technologies that might configure the step changes required in the air transport of the second half of this century. Relies on stimulating ideas across all the stakeholders, particularly academia and research institutions and setting technologies incubators to nurture the future. Addresses new concepts of propulsion and lifting, new forms of guidance and control, new ideas for interior space of air vehicles, including the concept of off-shore air stations, personal transport systems including the use of urban-space, etc. DG RTD-H.3 ILA Berlin May
