Although air transport is only 2 percent of C02 emissions generated by humans, the European Union, in its Seventh Framework Programme for research, has allocated one of their joint technology initiatives (or Joint Technology Initiative), called the Clean Sky, the development of technologies that significantly reduce the impact of air transport in the environment.
Clean Sky program provides for six Integrated Technology Demonstrators, one of which is dedicated ai development of green technologies and sustainable engines.
planning this ambitious program estimates that late! Next year, 2009, will select the technologies to be developed during 2010 will make a decision on demonstrators built vehicles from 2012 and 2014 would review the results and conclusions would be established.
As are the other ecological
technology demonstrator engine has a budget of 400 million euros, is led by Rolls Royce and Safrane (French holding company that brings together companies Snecma, Turbo-meca, Hispano Suiza and Aero Space Tech) and is associated with the German company MTU, Volvo of Sweden, Italy's Avio and ITP English.
Although the program covers several types of aircraft, aircraft, helicopters, etc., the emphasis is focused on the development of demonstrators for aircraft, precisely, of 150 passengers.
For such aircraft have been set clear targets for reducing emissions relative to current engines: first is expected to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides by 20 percent, while the noise at 15 decibels.
are currently being developed in five vehicles that will integrate the technologies necessary to achieve those goals. Thus, in regard to the other, different architectures, including the Geared Turbo Pan, tur Bofan the three axes and the Open Rotor.
