Development strategy

• Technologies are selected, developed and monitored in terms of maturity or ‘technology readiness level’ (TRL). They were identified as the most promising in terms of potential impact on the environmental performance of future aircraft.

• Concept aircraft are design studies dedicated to integrating technologies into a viable conceptual configuration. Clean Sky’s results are measured and reported by comparing these concept aircraft to existing aircraft and aircraft incorporating ‘evolutionary technology’ in the world fleet.

• Demonstration Programmes include physical demonstrators that integrate several technologies at a larger ‘system’ or aircraft level, and validate their feasibility in operating conditions. This supports the evaluation of the actual potential of the technologies. The ultimate goal of Clean Sky is to achieve successful demonstrations in a relevant operating environment, i.e. up to TRL 6.

Test campaign # 1

Innovative CFRP fuselage “crown” panel

Contributions from ALENIA (design), ATR

(installation and operation; test aircraft); Fraunhofer

(panel instrumentation)

Aim of Flight test campaign was to support the

development of innovative CFRP panel with

embedded layer to provide additional acoustic

damping

The expected benefits concern weight, internal

noise, assembly costs and structural health

monitoring

Conceptual aircraft and demonstrators

Conceptual aircraft and demonstrators

featuring

• SFWA Natural laminar flow (NLF) wing

• SNECMA conceptual Counter Rotating

Open Rotor (CROR)engines

• SGO MTM Optimized trajectories, in the FMS

Short/medium-range (SMR) aircraft, [APL2]

This concept aircraft includes both the ‘smart’ laminar-flow wing and the incorporation of the contra-rotating open rotor (CROR) engine concept, developed within the Clean Sky programme.• The Flight-testing of a A340 demonstrator aircraft with representative Laminar Wing

is planned Sept 2017, although still part of the CS1 framework; • the CROR engine demonstrator on ground is scheduled by Q4-16, while the flight

testing is moved to CS2.• Advanced systems and new flight trajectories already matured to appropriate level

are included in the architecture.

Conceptual aircraft and demonstrators

The Ground Based Demonstrator (GBD) is a full scale partial wingbox demonstration of the

structure and systems needed to produce a leading edge solution to meet the strict requirements to

achieve Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) Wing.

Contributors were GKN as Partner, and Airbus together with the Manufacturing Technology Centre at

Coventry for the assembly and testing of the integrated product.

Main features: The GBD is a 4.5m long by 1m wide section of flight-representative wing leading edge attached to

a partial wing box assembly. The leading edge accommodates a Krueger flap in two sections. This

split has allowed GKN Aerospace engineers to investigate two very different design philosophies.Major outcomes are: Ground Based Demonstrator (full scale Leading edge) fully functional Installation of electro-thermal anti-ice system, moveable Krueger flaps, bird strike and lightening

protection) Numerous manufacturing & assembly lessons learnt (esp. wrt. accessibility)

Conceptual aircraft and demonstrators

Objective: to demonstrate in flight thatthe Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) wingproduced at ‘industrial scales’ will confersignificant performance, with lowmaintenance and operational costs

Main features:

Advanced passive laminar wingaerodynamic design

Two alternative integrated structuralconcepts for a laminar wing

High quality, low tolerancemanufacturing and repair techniques

Anti-contamination surface coating Shielding Krueger high lift device

Expected benefits: fuel burn saving onshort and mid-range aircraft comparedwith an equivalent aircraft with aconventional wing

Counter-Rotating Open Rotor- Joint certification group with engine and airframers

and airworthiness authorities.- Definition of the applicable regulations (propeller vs.

turbofan)- Assessment of critical aspects, like blade release

containment; impact on fuselage design (shielding)- Noise assessment progressed.- Ground Tests in preparation.

VFR Procedures

May 2015 TRL 6

H175 helicopter flying low-noise IFR approaches to the heliport of Toulouse-Blagnac airport.

The approach procedures were flown using accurate lateral and vertical guidance provided by EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), the European Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), and in the presence of airplane traffic simultaneously approaching and departing to/from airport runways.These helicopter-specific procedures allow achieving the Simultaneous Non Interfering (SNI) aircraft and rotorcraft IFR operations at a medium-size commercial airport.

The low-noise procedures demonstrated noise footprint reductions of up to 50 per cent.

Detailed design and integration of the procedures in Toulouse airspace was achieved by GARDEN, a partner project with expertise in Air Traffic Management (ATM).

For the VFR tests, an AW139 was used as part of another Partner's projects MANOUVERS

Final remarks1. The Clean Sky original scope aimed at improving the

environmental impact of aviation through insertion oftechnologies in future aeronautical products.

2. In H2020, CS2 complements this environmental target withmobility and competitiveness.

3. The JU is addressing new aspects, like the involvement ofAcademia, the link with Structural Funds, an increasedcollaboration with SESAR and EASA and the potential new typeof Calls.

4. CS is also potentially contributing to the future InternationalCooperation via the involvement by DG-RTD

5. This paves the way to the evolution of Clean Sky in the nextfuture.
