  1. Aeronautics in the EU Framework Programme DG RTD-H.3 - Aeronautics November 2006

  2. Challenges to Aviation • Global Warming is a world-wide recognised issue • Crude oil price above 75 $/ barrel in Summer 2006 • 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

  3. European Aeronautics: A Vision for 2020http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/growth/aeronautics2020/en/index.html • Initiated and chaired by Commissioner Philippe Busquin • Prepared by a group of 14 high-level personalities (GOP) • Focused on Research / Technology / Development • Takes a pan-European perspective with a 2020 horizon Indicates two Top level objectives Securing global Leadership to Europe Responding to the Society’s needs  Strategy = objectives + method

  4. European Aeronautics: A Vision for 2020 The Goals for 2020 • 80% cut in NOx emissions • Halving perceived aircraft noise • Five-fold reduction in accidents • Air traffic system capable of handling 16 million flights a year • 50% cut in CO2 emissions per pass-Km • 99% of all flights within 15 minutes of timetable

  10. 7th Research Framework Programme Main Features • Duration: 7 years (2007 – 2013) • Budget: 54.4 billion Euro • Structure: 9 Thematic Programmes • Transport (incl. Aeronautics): 4.16 Billion Euro

  11. 7th Framework Programme Four Specific Programmes Corresponding to four major objectives of European research policy • Cooperation (32413 million Euro) Support will be given to the whole range of research activities carried out in trans-national cooperation • Ideas (7510 millon Euro) An autonomous European Research Council will be created to support investigator-driven “frontier research”. • People (4750 million Euro) The activities support training and career development of researchers, referred to as “Marie Curie” actions, • Capacities (4097 million Euro) Key aspects of European research and innovation capacities will be supported: research infrastructures; research for the benefit of SMEs; regional research driven clusters.

  12. 7th Framework Programme Cooperation Support will be provided to trans-national co-operation at every scale across the European Union and beyond, in a number of thematic areas corresponding to major fields of the progress of knowledge and technology, where research must be supported and strengthened to address Europeansocial, economic, environmental and industrial challenges The nine themes determined for EU action: • Health • Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology • Information and Communication Technologies • Nano-sciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies • Energy • Environment (including Climate Change) • Transport (including Aeronautics) • Socio-economic Sciences and the Humanities • Security and Space

  13. 7th Research Framework ProgrammeBudget Breakdown Budget 2007 - 2013: 50.521 million Euro(+ JRC and EURATOM)

  14. Commission Proposal for F.P.7Transport (including Aeronautics)(2007 – 2013) 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)

  17. 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 (CO2, 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.

  18. 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 travel-related 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.

  19. 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.
