Project description DEENESFRITPL A sustainable and competitive future for European aviation Amidst rapid ecological and environmental changes, the European aviation industry is facing challenges related to sustainability and competitiveness. The EU-funded GAM-2020-ECO project aims to address this issue by implementing the ecodesign approach. To that end, it will integrate ecologic, economic and socio-economic outcomes to assess materials, processes and resources that are applied along the entire aircraft life cycle. By using the fundamental structure of eight eco themes, it will allow an extended life cycle analysis (LCA+), going far beyond aircraft operation. Being a Transversal Activity in Clean Sky 2, the project will focus on the development of fundamental methodologies, tools and databases and their integration into an inclusive platform as well as on the assessment and evaluation of innovative technology developments. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Integrating ecologic, economic and socio-economic effects, ecoDESIGN will strongly contribute to sustainability and future competitiveness of the European aviation industry according the European Eco innovation agenda. It covers the assessment of materials, processes and resources (MPR) employed along the entire aircraft life cycle. Based on the fundamental structure of eight Eco themes , ecoDESIGN enables an extended Life Cycle Analysis (LCA+), going far beyond aircraft operation.As a Transversal Activity in Clean Sky 2 ecoDESIGN concentrates on the development and integration of fundamental methodologies, tools and databases into a comprehensive platform and on the assessment and evaluation of innovative technology developments within the SPDs. Extending the coverage of the technology base for ecoDESIGN, validated LCI Data will be employed to derive Eco-Statements and to enable future standardized, consistent and comparable analysis with regard to Design for Environment (DfE) Approaches as of 2020. In parallel, ecoDESIGN will monitor the socio economic development of the European aviation industry in Clean Sky 2 by means of socio-economic derivative.
