Small Air Transport (SAT) - GAM 2020

Project description

Affordable and green commuter to connect small airports in Europe

In a world that is becoming more and more connected, it is crucial that even the most remote areas can be easily reached in an economical and sustainable way. In the context of Clean Sky 2, the EU-funded GAM-2020-SAT project aims to diminish technology gaps to reduce the operational costs and environmental impact of small airplanes, ensuring high standards of operational safety. This will guarantee operability of small commuters (max 19 seats) from underused airfields in an affordable and green way, meanwhile reducing travel time for thin haul operations. Industrial companies, research centres and universities will work together to reach GAM-2020-SAT’s objectives, enabling the development of an innovative, small commuter to connect smaller cities, reduce flight times and improve overall European air mobility.
