Abstract

Objectives: To improve the modern approach to assessment of technology readiness level in the case of development of technology for high-tech industries, the products of which significantly affect environmental ecology. A vivid example of this kind of industries is the aviation industry. Methods: Such methods of research as systematic and logical approach, economic analysis and model development are applied. Findings: The main research finding is the development of a new additional readiness level “Ecology”, for which questions and required evidence necessary for passing it in the framework of the modified technology readiness level chain were formulated. An innovative parallel civilian aircraft constructional design concept was developed with consideration of the formulated additional ecological technology readiness level. Applications/Improvement: The possibility of practical implementation of the proposed approach is shown by filling the aviation technology validation checklist which includes requirements for aviation environmental protection. The necessity of final validation of aviation technology aimed at reducing the negative impact of aircraft on the environment is illustrated and justified. Keywords: Aviation Technology Validation, Civil Aviation, Eco Design, Ecology, Technology Readiness Levels

Highlights

In the context of globalization and transfer of a number of developed countries to an innovative model of economy, it is technology that allows creating innovative products; provide competitive advantages in the world market[1]
Technology Readiness Level (TRL) system can be used in aerospace and other high-tech companies to determine current status of a technology, better understand the real situation and assess risks associated with further development, efforts necessary to achieve the required maturity of a new technology and to reduce risks associated with integration of technology into the system
Considering the importance given to environmental protection by international regulatory agencies and individual governments regulating civil aviation, it can be concluded that at the present stage of society development, in course of development of socially important technology, it is necessary for them to have economic and technical efficiency, but often be environmentally safe

Summary

Introduction

In the context of globalization and transfer of a number of developed countries to an innovative model of economy, it is technology that allows creating innovative products; provide competitive advantages in the world market[1]. K. Marx emphasized that science is the most fundamental form of wealth. Marx emphasized that science is the most fundamental form of wealth It is both a product and a producer of wealth[3]. In this regard, the most important element of the applied research and development management system is assessment of level of availability of an advanced technology before its transfer to the readiness level (development stage). It is clear that timely funding in full reduces uncertainty and extent of risk for all these three problems
