Mobility for Growth Aviation (2015)



7

• Reducing environmental impact through advanced design of novel aircraft configurations.

In order to decrease fuel consumption and the environmental footprint of aviation, the efficiency of future aircraft should be increased.

Different aircraft configurations can be explored in comparison to the standard tube-and-wing concept.

Research work should aim at new and enhanced methods in design to enable advanced and novel aircraft configurations with reduced overall emissions.

Among others, novel multidisciplinary optimisation tools can be complemented with analytical and numerical research. Experiments on specific advanced technologies can be also included.





8

• Reducing noise through novel materials design & application on engines and/or airframes

For achieving noise reduction goals, a better understanding of the complex phenomena associated to the absorption of acoustic energy is needed together with advanced technologies to further reduce the noise from the airframe and the engines.

Research work should aim at new designs and new application of materials with a potential of achieving next step reductions in airframe and/or engine noise, with the lowest negative impact on performance, weight and cost.

Research can include proof-of-concept experiments to validate the understanding of noise reduction mechanisms.





9

• Resource-efficient high-performance advanced-materials product development & manufacturing

The increasing use of advanced materials in aircraft together with the demand for sustainable production requires new advanced technologies for the aeronautical industry.

Research work should aim at more efficient product development and manufacturing in terms of use of resources, time and costs.

Among others, research could include aspects related to green materials and processes and manufacturing automation.





10

• Reducing energy consumption through more electrical aircraft & systems integration

Electrically-driven systems are increasingly used in aviation, aiming at increasing propulsion efficiency and reducing environmental impact and costs.

Research work should aim at development and optimised integration of electrical systems in future aircraft to minimise overall energy consumption.

Among others, research could include aspects related to highly integrated systems, incl. health monitoring.

In the Horizon 2020 aviation coordinated calls the 3rd country participants will not sign Horizon 2020 Grant Agreement. They will sign the Coordination Agreement with the European participants.



In addition to the General Horizon 2020 Eligibility and admissibility conditions:

•Proposals that do not include coordination with corresponding third-country activities will be considered ineligible.

•Proposals will only be selected on the condition that their corresponding coordinated third-country activities will be funded.

•Participants in the EU actions are required to conclude a coordination agreement with the participants in the corresponding coordinated third-country activities. A final draft of these agreements has to be provided with the proposal.
