Motivation

The FP7 network support action GRAIN2, co-funded by the EU and China aims to provide inputs and contributions to technology roadmaps for greening aviation for meeting future requirements such as the reduction of aviation emissions, fuel consumption, perceived noise, decarbonated smart structures and green management of air traffic

For achieving progress towards the identified targets, efforts in green technologies will be directed to three major lines: Air vehicle, Air Traffic Management Systems and Sustainable Energies. In this Open Workshop/Forum, greening technologies will be addressed in the following three areas:

  1. i) Greening technologies for aircraft and aero-engines: innovative methods and tools for optimized aircraft drag and noise and aero-engines with highest fuel efficiency, optimized propulsion/airframe system allowing low level exhaust emissions, prediction of effects of aircraft emissions by new engines technologies and alternative fuels, multidisciplinary/multi-physics modelling, simulation, optimization and control, new multifunction materials, including environmentally green materials and smart structures;
  2. ii) Greening the operational environment: utilization of environmentally friendly chemicals in production, operation and maintenance, optimised handling and control of the engine exhaust emissions, such as to low or zero emission aircraft taxing, new low-emission ATM concepts;

iii) Reducing the carbon footprint of aviation via sustainable alternative fuels: development of biofuels for greenhouse gas emission reduction; increase the knowledge of acceptance conditions at engine aircraft level, optimization of the aircraft/ alternative fuel combination.

GRAIN2 aims to identify innovative RTD methods, design tools implemented on high-performance computer (HPC) based simulation environment, green performance based navigation and surveillance information platforms for the different Key Green Technology (KGTs) areas according to the needs of the aeronautics industry.

International Greener Networking critical outcomes of GRAIN2 are a green leverage in the context of the new Flight Path 2050 and Chinese Aeronautical Midterm Development Strategy 2020 Visions for Aircraft   and launching new H2020 EU-China Coordinated Calls.

 

Technical Content of the Workshop Forum

As a first part of the event, the Open Workshop/Forum will be focused on the dissemination of the state of the art in the different technologies involved in the Key Green Technologies (KGTs) of GRAIN2. The lectures delivered by both invited non GRAIN2 speakers and GRAIN2 partners will provide information about the technologies under development to promote greener aeronautics, while linking the presentations with the most promising developments and technologies which will minimize impact of the environment. Presentations will be delivered in the four following KGTs:

- KGT1: Propulsion related technologies, KGT2: Flight physics and aero-acoustics, KGT3: Environmentally friendly materials and advanced structures, KGT4: Advanced CNS/ATM systems for sustainable air transport.

 

Program of the Workshop event: 1,5 days with:

  • Plenary sessions of invited speakers
  • Key Green Technology (KGT) sessions
  • Round Table discussion

 

Expected outcomes of the GRAIN2 Workshop

The Green EU-China Networking  outcomes of GRAIN2 is a leverage in the context of the launched  Flight Path 2050  with the  H2020 program for Aircraft  as an intermediate step preparing future EU-China Coordinated and Research action Calls.

 

Who should attend?

The workshop will be of interest to engineers and researchers involved in areas of greening technologies for aviation as well as to experts in the fields.
