EPATS Conference ILA, Berlin, May28, 2008 "Personal Air Transportation in Europe and opportunities for a revival of the small aircraft manufacturers" Welcome to the EPATS Project Krzysztof PIWEK, EPATS STUDY Project Coordinator, Institute of Aviation, Poland
Main EPATS Question Is it possible to replace car trips on a distance longer than 300 km by personal aircraft ?
EPATS Answer • EPATS study answers „YES” • Due to: • High density Airports Network • New ATM Technology • Technically Advanced Aircraft • European Synergy Possibility • Increasing Mobility and Social Needs

WP or Task N°: EPATS STUDY Project Reporting WP or Task Leader Consortium EPATS Objective • State of art European Personal Aviation, • Market potential of PA, assumption to Impact, Missions, Roadmap • Start to create EPATS Community Major Results • Important workshops: • EPATS Expert in EUROCONTROL Bretigny; • VLJ in EUROCONTROL Brussels • CESAR/EPATS meeting • SESAR/EPATS meeting • EPATS Data Base - defined • EPATS EPATS Demand 2020 – defined • EPATS Impacts – defined • EPATS Missions Requirements for EPATS aircraft - defined • EPATS Roadmap – Vison - done Major delays? No detrimental delays; project on time Next actions? next proposal for FP7 – according workprogramme 2008 - done Delivered items Deliverable Reports – 11 (completed 6, closed 3, draft 2) Technical Reports – 12 (closed 9, draft 3) EPATS SSA – total 45 man months – 280 KEuro Project Status Overview
EPATS Questions • What is accessibility and suitability of European airports? • How big is a Transportation GAP for European regions with poor accessibility? • What could be potential transfer of traffic from Road, Trains, Airlines to the EPATS? • How to integrate EPATS traffic with future ATM projected by SESAR? • What will be impact on Airports, Environment and Safety?
EPATS Questions • How to define Affordable Personal Air Transport? Missions Requirements for EPATS Aircraft? Innovative Technologies? • What will be impact on European GA Industry capabilities? • What should be business models to make all those reasonable? • What should be Roadmap and recommended R&TD for next Frame Programs and Strategic Research Agendas?
Conclusions Small aircraft transport system creates real added value for EUby: • keepingenergy efficiencyand harmonizing use of transport modes, • giving travelers afree choice of transport mode - according to their need, and limited by their time value. Moresynergy is needed – amongfundamental European projects (i.e. SESAR) and European GA
