If aircraft can run on more efficient electrical systems, rather than the standard pneumatic and hydraulic systems in use today, then significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from aircraft can be achieved.

Higher seating densities and more personal electronic equipment being used onboard by travellers means cabin ventilation systems have to work overtime to maintain air quality standards and meet passenger comfort requirements.

There’s no one silver bullet for clean aviation. We need a combination of different actors, technologies and measures.

Clean Sky's Morphing Winglet project not only promises operational performance improvements and emissions reductions...

Larger-fanned engines bring considerable energy efficiencies to aviation, but their installation poses challenges too.

Material performance improvements are a key enabler for making aircraft lighter, more efficient and therefore more environmentally friendly.

Wind tunnel tests are an essential phase in the process of aircraft design.

Congested roads and airports reaching capacity are just two of the main obstacles in Europe's path towards better door-to-door mobility.

Currently, additive manufacturing (AM) processes require time- and resource-intensive experiments to determine the process reliability and component quality. 

The WIMPER project aims to develop lightweight, erosion-resistant windows and windshields to withstand bird strike, even at high speeds, for the RACER helicopter.
