Clean Aviation

Aviation must introduce significantly cleaner aircraft into service by 2035 to achieve the sector’s climate neutrality goals by 2050. The Clean Aviation programme, co-funded by the European Union, is delivering the game-changing aircraft technologies before 2030 to enable it to happen.
We need to innovate, accelerate and very importantly collaborate. Recently, we announced 8 additional daring projects as part of our second call for proposals (Call 2). Their innovations will help to reduce fuel burn and net emissions of greenhouse gases for commercial air travel by no less than 30% compared to the state-of-the-art aircraft models available today. Thereby paving the way towards an entry-into-service of new, highly efficient aircraft by 2035. Together with the use of synthetic fuels or hydrogen as an energy carrier, greenhouse gases will be reduced by approx. 90%.
