Overview
Objectives:
The aim of the project is to promote an effective cooperation between Europe and Japan in the field of conceptual design of a high speed aircraft. The project contributes to the creation of synergies between the existing European and Japanese programmes to build a common roadmap towards experimentations by 2020. Furthermore, the project contributes to some of the technology bricks that need to be explored.
Methodology:
The objectives will be achieved through four main activities:
- Market Analysis
- Study on propulsion (single or multiple engines, rocket engines and tanks)
- Study on fuel (operations and impact on environment), innovative on-board thermal and energy management
- Workshops will be held to define conceptual guidelines and common experimentation plan
