Descripción del proyecto
Aviones de transporte regional asequibles y ecológicos para conectar los aeropuertos pequeños de Europa
En un mundo cada vez más conectado, resulta esencial garantizar un acceso sencillo, asequible y sostenible incluso a las zonas más remotas. En el marco del programa Clean Sky 2, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos GAM-2020-SAT se propone disminuir las lagunas tecnológicas para reducir los costes de funcionamiento y el impacto medioambiental de los aviones pequeños, garantizando unos niveles elevados de seguridad operativa. Esto garantizará el funcionamiento de pequeños aviones de transporte regional (con un máximo de diecinueve plazas) en aeródromos infrautilizados de un modo asequible y ecológico, al tiempo reducirá el tiempo de transporte para operaciones de corta distancia. Diferentes empresas industriales, centros de investigación y universidades colaborarán para alcanzar los objetivos de GAM-2020-SAT y permitirán el desarrollo de un avión pequeño e innovador de transporte regional que conectará las ciudades más pequeñas, reducirá la duración de los vuelos y mejorará la movilidad aérea europea en general.
Objetivo
"Currently, there is a big need for connecting small airports in remote areas. However, today no affordable solution is available due to the high cost per seat of current available small aircraft.
Thus, a reduction of operating cost of small aircraft (up to 19 seats) is needed to open this promising market, contributing to improve mobility in Europe, connecting small cities and helping to reduce flight time, matching the FlightPath 2050 ""d2d 4h"" (4 hours door to door) challenge.
In parallel, aviation sustainability issues have become more and more important, being aviation pollution an important source of global environmental pollution.
The SAT Initiative proposed in Clean Sky 2 represents the R&D (Research & Development) interests of European manufacturers of small aircraft used for passenger and cargo transport, belonging to EASA´s CS-23 (European Aviation Safety Agency Certification Specifications-23) regulatory base. This includes dozens of industrial companies (many of which SMEs – Small Medium Enterprises –), research centres and universities. The community covers the full supply chain, i.e. aircraft integrators, engine and systems manufacturers and research organizations.
SAT main goal is to meet the Flightpath 2050 target whereby ""90% of travellers within Europe are able to complete their journey, door-to-door, within 4 hours"", improving overall European air mobility, by means of an eco-friendly, and economically viable aircraft answering sustainability needs, market demand, and cost-effectiveness.
In particular, two platforms are being investigated: a Green 19-seats EIS2025 (Entry Into Service in 2025) and an E-STOL (Electric/hybrid Short Take-Off and Landing) EIS2032 (Entry Into Service in 2032) 19-seats commuter.
This proposal presents the work plan 2020-23 toward the SAT-TA final objectives."
