Success Rate of the 1st Callby Instrument

1. Scientific and/or technological excellence - Fail to position the work in relation to present state-of-the-art - Level of innovation is too low - Not convincing that technical challenges can be met - Lack of focus in the technical objectives, too many items without synergy

2. Quality and efficiency of implementation and management- Management structure is very weak.- Very little real cooperation between key partners.- Risk assessment and management is not convincingly addressed- Partners have not sufficient critical mass to address all diverse areas- Funding requested is considered too large for the expected results

3. Potential impact through development, dissemination and use of results- Dissemination is weak - Impact/funding ratio appears low.

aircraft operations

Air transport system security

Level 2 Topics of 2nd Call


Lowering External NoiseIntegration & Validation of “2nd generation” noise reduction technologies:

- engine (inlet, fan, bypass duct, advanced propellers, turbo-machinery, combustor, exhaust system, jet)

and- airframe noise (wing systems, landing gear,…)

Multidisciplinary approach including: - local control: active noise generation and flow

control - adaptive and variable concepts, - trade-offs: integration (aircraft, nacelle, engine)

performance (aerodynamics, weight, cost) environmental (noise versus emissions).

Adjustable to future engines and aircraft architectures

Level 2 Topic under ” The Greening of Air Transport ”


Health Management & Permanent Serviceable FleetTo ensure continuous aircraft availability at operation

(less disruptions -> more time efficiency, less costs & more safety)

Development, Integration & Validation of aircraft & engine health monitoring and management technologies, services and processes (incl. operations &

IT sys).

Integrating interoperable aircraft and ground segments, including the

- operators, - MROs (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) and - manufacturers (supply chain, OEMs)

Best value/cost contributing to diagnosis/prognosis, decision making, to enable a global maintenance system, delivering: - standardised maintenance system architecture (validation: test platform).- key health monitoring technologies (validation: testrigs &large scale testing).

Level 2 Topic under ” Increasing Time Efficiency ” (1)


Avionics for New Cockpit & All-conditions OperationNew aircraft operational challenges:

- external perturbations, - automation, - crew-centred interface design, incl. future single pilot operations.

Development of a core flight deck architecture, integrating technologies eg: improved sensors and data-fusion, task tailored, intuitive graphical, interfaces, 3D audio environment, head mounted technologies, voice inputs, integrated flight bags.

Anticipation & avoidance of perturbations in-flight or on-ground, including weathereg: enhanced vision systems and 3D situational awareness, weather surveillance sensors and new navigation capabilities.

Validation in synthetic environments / ground test benches / flight tests.

Level 2 topic under ” Increasing Time Efficiency ” (2)


Full Virtuality in Design and Product Development within the Extended EnterpriseReduce time to market and development cost through a new paradigm - based on concurrent engineering

- supported by virtual reality across the whole cycle

(from conceptual design……. to testing and certification),

- involving multidisciplinary teams at all levels - collaborating in an extended enterprise concept.

Functionalities to integrate in the framework e. g.:- multi-physics analysis at aircraft, systems, subsystems & component, - "in-context" interactive knowledge design & decision support, - management of uncertainty in the development cycle, - methods to control design evolution across pre-design and dev., - virtual testing to reduce or eliminate the need of physical testing.

Validation: through test cases from real design, development and certification

Level 2 Topic under ” Increasing Cost Efficiency ” (1)


Network centric aircraft communications for global aircraft operations

Definition, development & demonstration of an aircraft communication concept which will integrate a full range of applications and services eg:

- airlines operations, - cabin crew operations, - in-flight and on-ground passenger services, - airport operations, - security services and - air traffic management related operations (in line with

SESAR), including the unification of all the related networking protocols.

Definition of standard data interfaces with current & future networks.

Development of proved concepts for transition from current to new system.

Level 2 Topic under ” Increasing Cost Efficiency ” (2)


Air Transport System SecurityTo detect and respond to any threat.To survive the effects of hostile actions.

On-ground & In-flight threats e. g.- internal: attacks to crew / passengers,

dangerous materials, explosives - external: missile or electronic attacks.

Integration and validation of a global framework to security embracing:- aircraft - airport , and - air traffic operations.

Integrating airborne with ground systems: merging information to react.

Attention to future international regulations, standardisation & certification.Validation: simulation (&training) platforms, full scale live trials.

Level 2 Topic under“Protection of Aircraft and Passengers”


Subjects for Focused Research Collaborative Projects

(CP-FP = Level 1) and Coordination Actions (CSA-CA)

• Flight Physics• Aero-structures• Propulsion• Systems & Equipment• Avionics• Design Systems and Tools• Production• Maintenance• Air Traffic Management• Airports• Human Factors

These subjects are likely to remain for all the duration of FP7


New Level 1 Topics: Promising Pioneering Ideas in Air Transport

Based upon ACARE’s "Out of the Box” study for radical changes

• The Cruiser/feeder concept. Very large aircraft flying nearly permanently on stable circuits

being fed with passengers from feeder aircraft. • Take-off and landing using ground-based power.

Replacing on-board systems and fuel with ground systems and power.• Personal air transport systems.

Operational concepts (on-board and on-ground) and vehicle technologies for individual transportation.

• New sources of aircraft main propulsive power. New views of propulsion beyond gas turbine concept, using

other energy sources.

“Greening”: Flight and Air Traffic management. Adopting alternative flight

profiles and altitudes for reduced emissions.


Other Highlights

•International Co-operation: All activities open; especially encouraged to tackle global Safety & Environment issues.

In addition, enhanced collaboration encouraged on certain topics at Level1 with selected countries based on recent stimulation actions with Russia, South Africa, India and China.

•Cross-cutting activities - Support Actions:

o Two topics suppressed (SME stimulation, radical changes stimulation)

o Four new topics added (Retrofitting, raising public awareness, support to dissemination, support to conferences)

•ERA-Net

•No Networks of Excellence;

•Funding threshold Level 1- Level 2 reduced from 8 M€ down to 6 M€.

•Maximum funding for Level 2 reduced from 60 M€ down to 50 M€.

•Split budget for Level 1/Level 2 at 50%/ 50%
