To ensure a proper interaction with all IADPs and ITDs of the CS2 Programme the ecoDESIGN Coordination Committee has been established. It is assisted by a set of values and merit to drive particular activities of CS2 ecoDESIGN excellence.
Building on Clean Sky 1 and looking forward the VEES (Vehicle Ecological Economic Synergy) and EDAS (ecoDESIGN Analysis) backbone is a part of organizing a structured stewardship between analysis objectives and technological exercises which is inherited by the Life Cycle Inventory.
Results of the continuous technology screening and mapping processes to grasp the CS2 technology portfolio have been delivered and provide oversight. Eight eco themes and a simplified aircraft and industry model were applied for structuring and identification of relevant content for ecoDESIGN analysis.
The inventory has to be accrued to a useful coverage by exploiting the unique Clean Sky stakeholdership. In view of abridging a strong outcomes short-list it is also important to organize major cohorts and utilities in the Clean Sky 2 demonstrators which stand out presently to be :
- Multi Functional Fuselage & Human Centered Cabin
- Advanced Wing Design
- Major Systems Treatments & Equipment Integration
- Engine Components
- Future Connected Factory
In the course of three initiatives and based on a pre-evaluation several activities have been launched on excellence level to provide Life Cycle Inventories for ecoDESIGN analysis (e.g. in the areas of hazardous material / REACh compliance, composites, recycling, end of life, additive manufacturing, machining, storage, transmission, supply, etc.). All of the activities were provided with a strong guidance and to deliver particular Life Cycle Inventories (LCI) to the ecoDESIGN analysis and database.
LCI Data acquisition has been in focus to set a solid base for a statistical and system relevant analysis on the impact of the Clean Sky 2 Programme with regard to sustainable productivity in the EU Aviation environment. The 2019 activities basically were directed towards: establishing processes of LCI intake and monitoring as well as pushing on winning strategies in certain technology streams (Workshops, Deliberation, …).
To further activate transversal synergies within the CS2 Programme the series of special, sector-overarching workshops has been continued on materials, processes and resources such as: additive manufacturing, digital materials, on water, free production optimization, REACh compliance, recycling etc.
Database Management principles have been delivered as base for exchange with aviation industry also including a research on LCA-Tools in place.
Dissemination and Communication on the activity have been carried out through conferences, publications, expositions and workshops addressing the current and future workforce generations.
