EuropeanELECT-AE The Vision 2020 as formulated by Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe, (ACARE) sets ambitious targets; especially the demand for 80% NOx and 50% CO2 emissions reduction from aviation with for the year 2000, requires focused and bal ...
EuropeanTURNEX Research is needed to develop innovative concepts and enabling technologies to reduce aero engine noise at the source. Turbomachinery noise radiating from the bypass and core nozzles is a dominant noise source on modern aircraft, but, while recent ...
EuropeanVITAL At the time of this project air traffic growth (5% growth rate per annum according to ICAO) was greatly impeded by the noise generated by aircraft as well as the harmful effects of aircraft pollutants on the environment (3% growth in CO2 emissions p ...
