The primary impact of the project is to provide a robust forecast for the TE in order to enable:
- impact assessment of CS2 technologies
- a better matching of Flight Path 2050 goals
and to add a source of information about CS2 technologies.
Other impact areas are:
i. Impact on future market
- To estimate EU industry deliveries and associated workforce
- To set priorities for EU industry and research in those market segments where future commercial activities are most attractive
- Beneficial to EU industries, as the project has provided tools to estimate future markets and to understand the impact of different future scenario’s and technologies on the A/C market
ii. Environmental impact
- to support the TE to calculate the environmental effects of technology improvements for RC and allow quantifying the benefits of CS2 technologies and their level of contribution to Flight Path 2050 goals
- to give results in more detailed forms as number of flights depending on missions (SAR, IMS, Oil & Gas, etc), flights between regions
iii. Connectivity/mobility, economic impact
- to supports citizens of the globalised economy and organizations by providing them a time effective fast transportation system
- to use the new methodology in other domains
- to better understand relationship between different parameters and their elasticities
- to better understand and develop market forecast techniques
- to enable the TE to assess the EU connectivity
Recommendations:
- to re-estimating the market after 3 – 6 years.
Changes in regulations (for example in China), real introduction of autonomous air taxi in urban transport and impact of emerging technologies might be evaluated and taking into account during the further forecasting
- to consider new disruptive elements (for ex. air-taxi and electric and hybrid powered A/C).
- to expand potential drivers, to model continents/groups of countries separately.
