Improving the performance of wings is one of the biggest opportunities for optimising fuel efficiency. Alongside the engine, the wing is one of the biggest levers to improve the performance of an aircraft. The next generation wing has the potential to contribute as much to overall aircraft efficiency gains as the next generation engine. On all aircraft, e...

To enhance Airbus' existing maturity assessment framework with the project outputs leading to improved secure communications and incident response, and paving the way for a secure and resilient supply chain network.

SONATA (System Optimisation of Non-propulsive energy in Aircraft Taxi technologies and Architectures) supports Sustainable taxi Operations through development and integration of technology bricks for an On-aircraft, Electric Wheel Taxi System.

**Airbus recognises that non-CO2 emissions are an important subject for aviation and is already actively working on a large portfolio of projects addressing non-CO2 emissions, their generation and climate impacts.** Airbus will continue its focus on reducing CO2 emissions from aviation, whilst - in collaboration with research institutions, universities an...

AVIATION_1 will deliver structure and systems technologies which are required to integrate ultra-efficient and zero-carbon emission engines onto the wings of an aircraft to provide a significant improvement in aircraft efficiency and reduction in CO2 emissions. The next generation of commercial aircraft will use 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hy...

Environmental concerns motivate a transition to liquid hydrogen aviation fuel in coming decades, and for this technology the size, placement and connections of the hydrogen tank on an aircraft are key decisions. The Hydrogen Aircraft Sloshing Tank Advancement project (HASTA) aims to experimentally and computationally investigate the storage of liquid hydr...

Airbus's ambition is to develop the world's first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2035\. The ZEROe programme explores a variety of configurations and technology options that will shape the development of our future hydrogen aircraft. The Filton ZEROe Development Centre (ZeDC), with strong links into the ATI Hydrogen Capability Network (HCN) Test C...

With a cohesive and aligned vision the **world leading consortium** aims to validate a step change enabling L-PBF AM to be **cost-competitive** and **sustainable*...

Developing aircraft using hydrogen is seen as a major lever to reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and to secure the long-term sustainability of air travel. In order to enable a widespread development of hydrogen aviation, it is essential for airport operators that a future regulatory framework is implemented for the handling of large quantities of hydro...

The purpose of the COMPANION project is to define, design and prepare a common flight test demonstrator platform to enable the validation of ultra-efficient propulsion systems developed in Clean Aviation Call#01 projects at full scale and in a wide envelope of realistic operational conditions. Given the clear requirement in the roadmap planning of the CA ...

Direct aviation emissions accounted for 3.8% of total CO2 emissions and 13.9% of the emissions from transport in the EU in 2017, making it the second biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions after road transport. In addition, the growing amount of air traffic means that many EU citizens are still exposed to high noise levels. Intensified research and in...
