The Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative:

The Joint Technology Initiative activities will be outside of the mainstream "calls for proposals" means of implementation of the work programme.

SESAR Single European Sky Air Traffic Management (ATM) Research

The SESAR initiative aims to develop the new tools and technologies needed to sustain air traffic growth in Europe for the next 20 years in an economically and environmentally sound way. A SESAR Joint Undertaking will be created all ATM research in the 7th Framework programme will be undertaken within the SESAR initiative GALILEO - worldwide positioning and timing infrastructure

SESAR: The EU programme for ATM modernisation

FP7 Theme 7 Transport

Air Traffic in Europe will more than double within the next 20 years ATM Reform is Needed Air Traffic Control is operated like 20 years ago Airspace cannot be divided further Basic technologies are obsolete SESAR: ATM Technological Reform The technological/industrial complement to the Single Sky legislation One programme for Europe, shared and committed to by all actors (industry, users and providers, military, staff,) One vision to be shared with the world

ACTIVITY 7.1.1 THE GREENING OF AIR TRANSPORT

FP7 Theme 7 Transport

Developing technologies to reduce the environmental impact of aviation with the aim to halve the emitted carbon dioxide (CO2), cut specific emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 80% and halve the perceived noise. Research will focus on furthering green engine technologies including alternative fuels technology as well as improved vehicle efficiency. Issues such as improved aircraft operations at the airport (airside and landside) and air traffic management, manufacturing, maintenance and recycling processes will be included. AREA 7.1.1.1 Green Aircraft: Flight Physics (airframe aerodynamics design), Aerostructures (use of light-weight metallic, composite materials), Propulsion (engine thermal efficiency), Systems and Equipment (power generation and distribution), Avionics (increased modularity and integration) AREA: 7.1.1.2 Ecological Production and Maintenance: Production (toxic chemicals and materials in manufacturing processes), Maintenance and Disposal (elimination of toxic chemicals and materials in maintenance processes) AREA: 7.1.1.3 Green Air Transport Operations: Flight and Air Traffic Management (SESAR!), Airports (replacing ground vehicle services)

18

ACTIVITY 7.1.2 INCREASING TIME EFFICIENCY

FP7 Theme 7 Transport

Realising a step-change in aviation in order to accommodate the projected growth of three times more aircraft movements. Research will develop and implement an innovative Air Traffic Management (ATM) system within the context of the SESAR initiative, by integrating air, ground and space components, together with flow management and more aircraft autonomy. Design aspects of aircraft to improve handling of passengers and cargo, novel solutions for efficient airport use and connecting air transport to the overall transport system will also be addressed. The most efficient coordination of the development of ATM systems in Europe will be ensured through the SESAR initiative. AREA: 7.1.2.1 Aircraft Systems and Equipment for Improved Aircraft Throughput: Systems and Equipment (full automatic approach and landing in all weather), Avionics, Maintenance and Repair (elimination of unscheduled maintenance) AREA: 7.1.2.2 Time Efficient Air Transport Operations: Air Traffic Management (SESAR), Airports (passenger and luggage flow in the terminal area)

19

ACTIVITY 7.1.3 ENSURING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND SAFETY

FP7 Theme 7 Transport

Introducing a quantum leap in passenger choice and schedule flexibility, whilst achieving a five-fold reduction in accident rate. New technologies will enable a wider choice of aircraft/engine configurations, increased levels of automation in all the elements of the system. Focus will also be on improvements for passengers comfort, well being, new services and active and passive safety measures with special emphasis on the human element. Research will include the adaptation of airport and air traffic operations. AREA: 7.1.3.1 Passenger Friendly Cabin: Design Systems and Tools (flexible passenger and cargo utilisation), Noise and Vibration, Systems and Equipment (home-like and office-like cabin environments) AREA: 7.1.3.2 Passenger Friendly Air Transport Operations: Maintenance and Repair (on-time maintenance and elimination of unscheduled maintenance), Airports (including intelligent tracking of luggage) AREA: 7.1.3.3 Aircraft Safety: Aerostructures (safety of aging airframe and engine structures), Avionics, Human Factors (the human factor in support of humanmachine interaction and crew performance in the cockpit) AREA: 7.1.3.4 Operational Safety: Design Systems and Tools (safety metrics), Maintenance (smart maintenance, including self-inspection and self-repair capabilities ), Air Traffic management, Airports (all weather ground based high precision landing and take off systems), Human Factors (conceptual design of the air transport system, in particular with regard to the mission of the crew, maintenance personnel and traffic controllers, with special consideration of abnormal situations and crisis management), Integrated approach to scalable fault-tolerant avionics (systems with increased functions, greater adaptability to all aircraft types and more fault tolerant for improved reliability), Integrated approach to aircraft electromagnetic environment (cover a broadband of electromagnetic perturbations), Integration of research capacities in the domain of aviation safety (NoE)

7.3 CROSS-CUTTING ACTIVITIES for implementation of the TRANSPORT PROGRAMME

FP7 Theme 7 Transport

exploit the synergies between air transport and the surface transport modes make a contribution to the common objectives of advancing competitiveness and responding to the societal challenges of the Transport system. Topics addressing co-modality for passenger transport, including tourism, and freight are proposed for 2007. Further topics are foreseen for 2007 to evaluate the impact of previous research actions, particularly for the user community, and ways to increase public awareness and understanding amongst citizens of the challenges facing the Transport system and the contribution that research and the development of new technologies can make to society.
