Descrizione del progetto
Commuter convenienti ed ecologici per collegare i piccoli aeroporti in Europa
In un mondo sempre più connesso, è fondamentale che anche le zone più remote possano essere facilmente raggiungibili in modo economico e sostenibile. Nel contesto di Clean Sky 2, il progetto GAM-2020-SAT, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di ridurre le lacune tecnologiche per ridurre i costi operativi e l’impatto ambientale degli aerei di piccole dimensioni, garantendo elevati standard di sicurezza operativa. Ciò garantirà l’operatività dei commuter più piccoli (max 19 posti) dai campi di aviazione sottoutilizzati in modo economico ed ecologico, riducendo nel contempo i tempi di viaggio per le operazioni di trasporto a corto raggio. Le aziende industriali, i centri di ricerca e le università lavoreranno insieme per raggiungere gli obiettivi del GAM-2020-SAT, consentendo lo sviluppo di un commuter innovativo e di piccole dimensioni per collegare le città più piccole, ridurre i tempi di volo e migliorare la mobilità aerea complessiva europea.
Obiettivo
"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."
