Abstract
In the year 2000, a group of personalities of aerospace industry, government and research institutes formed the ACARE ("Advisory Committee on Aerospace Research in Europe”) and established the well-known VISION 2020. This vision reflects the targets to reduce the environmental impact of air traffic: reducing both carbon dioxide and noise emissions by half and nitrogen oxide emissions even by 80%. Industry and universitypartners since then jointly defined measures to achieve these challenging goals. Many research programs were implemented funded by national and international bodies, such as the European Union within the Framework program. However, the current status still inhibits further needs to install intense research work.
Highlights
The ACARE plans for a strategic research agenda: the VISION 2050, giving a time horizon, which enables long-term projects to be planned and performed
Droga do poprawy systemów napędowych nitrogen oxide production, when TET is increased further and the higher drag, which results from growing fan diameters, as they would be needed for higher bypass ratios
In order to support the targets of VISION 2050, the following options are followed – New engine concepts – New combustion concepts – Alternative fuels and new energy sources – The “More Electric Aircraft”: Replacing the hydraulic and pneumatic subsystems by an all electric system – Changes in the aircraft configuration and integration of the propulsion system Due to the high variety and complexity of these options, only the main engine related developments shall be described in the following chapters
Summary
The ACARE plans for a strategic research agenda: the VISION 2050, giving a time horizon, which enables long-term projects to be planned and performed In order to keep the environmental implications small, the overall air traffic system has to be substantially improved. This includes all technical sectors: aircraft, propulsion, air traffic operation & control, a lot of socio-economic areas around airports and so on. It reveals clearly, that the fraction of single and twin aisle aircraft will grow from the current 80% up to value of 91%. The financial market share of this segment is predicted to be around 2.5 Billion US$ and certainly represents an attractive area of activities
