Article 2 U.K. Objectives

The Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking shall have the following objectives:

(a)

to contribute to the finalisation of research activities initiated under Regulation (EC) No 71/2008 and to the implementation of Regulation (EU) No 1291/2013, and in particular the Smart, Green and Integrated Transport Challenge under Part III — Societal Challenges of Decision 2013/743/EU;

(b)

to contribute to improving the environmental impact of aeronautical technologies, including those relating to small aviation, as well as to developing a strong and globally competitive aeronautical industry and supply chain in Europe.

This can be realised through speeding up the development of cleaner air transport technologies for earliest possible deployment, and in particular the integration, demonstration and validation of technologies capable of:

(i)

increasing aircraft fuel efficiency, thus reducing CO₂ emissions by 20 to 30 % compared to ‘state-of-the-art’ aircraft entering into service as from 2014;

(ii)

reducing aircraft NO_x and noise emissions by 20 to 30 % compared to ‘state-of-the-art’ aircraft entering into service as from 2014.
