Clean Sky JTI

Joint Technology Initiative (JTI): What is it? A JTI is a new instrument created by the European Commission for the 7th Framework Programme for Research (FP7) to allow large scale and long term public private research partnerships to implement the ambitious research priorities of the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) which are of such scale that they will require the mobilisation and management of very substantial public and private investment. The "Clean Sky" JTI The "Clean Sky" JTI is an industry driven 7-year research programme plan for greener generation of European Air Transport that will radically improve impact on the environment while strengthening and securing European aeronautics industry’s competitiveness. Its purpose is to demonstrate and validate the technological breakthroughs that are necessary to reach the environmental goals set by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE: the European Technology Platform for Aeronautics & Air Transport). Goals ACARE goals to be obtained in 2020 through the Technology Domains developed in the Clean Sky JTI: 50% reduction of CO2 emissions through drastic reduction of fuel consumption 80% reduction of NOx emissions 50% reduction of external noise A green design, manufacturing, maintenance and disposal product life cycle These Technology Domains are developed within six Technology Platforms, and a Technology Evaluator will evaluate the global impact of the technologies on the environment.
