Development strategy Technologies are selected, developed and monitored in terms of maturity or technology readiness level (TRL). They were identified as the most promising in terms of potential impact on the environmental performance of future aircraft. Concept aircraft are design studies dedicated to integrating technologies into a viable conceptual configuration. Clean Sky s results are measured and reported by comparing these concept aircraft to existing aircraft and aircraft incorporating evolutionary technology in the world fleet. Demonstration Programmes include physical demonstrators that integrate several technologies at a larger system or aircraft level, and validate their feasibility in operating conditions. This supports the evaluation of the actual potential of the technologies. The ultimate goal of Clean Sky is to achieve successful demonstrations in a relevant operating environment, i.e. up to TRL 6.

Conceptual aircraft and demonstrators Short/medium-range (SMR) aircraft, [APL2] This concept aircraft includes both the smart laminar-flow wing and the incorporation of the contra-rotating open rotor (CROR) engine concept, developed within the Clean Sky programme. The Flight-testing of a A340 demonstrator aircraft with representative Laminar Wing is planned Sept 2017, although still part of the CS1 framework; the CROR engine demonstrator on ground is scheduled by Q4-16, while the flight testing is moved to CS2. Advanced systems and new flight trajectories already matured to appropriate level are included in the architecture. featuring SFWA Natural laminar flow (NLF) wing SNECMA conceptual Counter Rotating Open Rotor (CROR)engines SGO MTM Optimized trajectories, in the FMS
Conceptual aircraft and demonstrators The Ground Based Demonstrator (GBD) is a full scale partial wingbox demonstration of the structure and systems needed to produce a leading edge solution to meet the strict requirements to achieve Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) Wing. Contributors were GKN as Partner, and Airbus together with the Manufacturing Technology Centre at Coventry for the assembly and testing of the integrated product. Main features: The GBD is a 4.5m long by 1m wide section of flight-representative wing leading edge attached to a partial wing box assembly. The leading edge accommodates a Krueger flap in two sections. This split has allowed GKN Aerospace engineers to investigate two very different design philosophies. Major outcomes are: Ground Based Demonstrator (full scale Leading edge) fully functional Installation of electro-thermal anti-ice system, moveable Krueger flaps, bird strike and lightening protection) Numerous manufacturing & assembly lessons learnt (esp. wrt. accessibility)
Conceptual aircraft and demonstrators Objective: to demonstrate in flight that the Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) wing produced at industrial scales will confer significant performance, with low maintenance and operational costs Main features: Advanced passive laminar wing aerodynamic design Two alternative integrated structural concepts for a laminar wing High quality, low tolerance manufacturing and repair techniques Anti-contamination surface coating Shielding Krueger high lift device Expected benefits: fuel burn saving on short and mid-range aircraft compared with an equivalent aircraft with a conventional wing
Main engine demonstrator Counter-Rotating Open Rotor - Joint certification group with engine and airframers and airworthiness authorities. - Definition of the applicable regulations (propeller vs. turbofan) - Assessment of critical aspects, like blade release containment; impact on fuselage design (shielding) - Noise assessment progressed. - Ground Tests in preparation.

Rotorcraft demonstrators GRC Demonstration of Helicopter Low Noise IFR and VFR Procedures H175 helicopter flying low-noise IFR approaches to the heliport of Toulouse-Blagnac airport. May 2015 TRL 6 The approach procedures were flown using accurate lateral and vertical guidance provided by EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), the European Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), and in the presence of airplane traffic simultaneously approaching and departing to/from airport runways. These helicopter-specific procedures allow achieving the Simultaneous Non Interfering (SNI) aircraft and rotorcraft IFR operations at a medium-size commercial airport. The low-noise procedures demonstrated noise footprint reductions of up to 50 per cent. Detailed design and integration of the procedures in Toulouse airspace was achieved by GARDEN, a partner project with expertise in Air Traffic Management (ATM). For the VFR tests, an AW139 was used as part of another Partner's projects MANOUVERS

Final remarks 1. The Clean Sky original scope aimed at improving the environmental impact of aviation through insertion of technologies in future aeronautical products. 2. In H2020, CS2 complements this environmental target with mobility and competitiveness. 3. The JU is addressing new aspects, like the involvement of Academia, the link with Structural Funds, an increased collaboration with SESAR and EASA and the potential new type of Calls. 4. CS is also potentially contributing to the future International Cooperation via the involvement by DG-RTD 5. This paves the way to the evolution of Clean Sky in the next future.
