What is an ITD ?

The greening of Aeronautics and Air Transport (A&AT) calls for a quantum leap in performance through a consistent, coherent and holistic approach focusing on the integration of advanced technologies and validation of results in a multidisciplinary approach leading to full-scale ground and flight demonstrators.

Technologies allowing for the step change have to be concurrently developed, integrated and validated to maximise the benefit of technology interaction and cross fertilisation on the whole Air Transport System (ATS).

Major areas of work, the Integrated Technology Demonstrators, have to cover the broad range of R&T work: aircraft - fixed wing (large and regional aircraft) and rotorcraft, engines, systems and eco-design concepts able to deliver more environmentally friendly aircraft production and operations.

Clean Sky” JTI has to be structured in the most efficient way allowing both the full coverage of all areas of R&T work while ensuring a high degree of efficiency in the management of the technical activities.
