Towards Climate-Neutral Aviation Contributions from Horizon 2020 Projects Implemented by INEA Towards Climate-Neutral Aviation Contributions from Horizon 2020 Projects Implemented by INEA Innovation and Networks Executive1 Agency FOREWORDFOREWORD I am delighted to introduce this publication Energy Societal Challenges, i.e. “Smart, green presenting the European Union Innovation and and integrated transport” and “Secure, clean Networks Executive Agency’s (INEA) contribution to and efficient energy”. The effective contribution supporting research and technology development made by the Agency towards supporting clean towards climate-neutral aviation. aviation in Europe is illustrated by highlights from completed and ongoing projects. Aviation is one of Europe’s main industries of excellence and an important contributor to This publication was finalised during the the European Union’s economic prosperity: it COVID-19 outbreak, which is having an maintains close to 5 million jobs and represents unexpectedly significant impact on the aviation over 2% of European GDP. The continuous growth sector and has introduced crucial challenges for in demand for air transport worldwide will not the short-term future. The aviation industry in only further increase the sector’s economic and Europe is facing serious consequences, with a social impact, but it also calls for measures to considerable reduction of passenger traffic and mitigate its environmental footprint in terms of revenue losses for airlines expected in 2020. The greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions European Commission is taking concrete actions and noise pollution. and putting forward targeted initiatives to help ease the impact of the outbreak on the sector. INEA has been addressing this challenge through a growing number of collaborative aviation I hope you will enjoy your reading and appreciate research and innovation projects supported by the the relevance of our work for a more sustainable Horizon 2020 programme. The projects featured European aviation sector. in this publication are making an important contribution towards achieving the ambitious European Green Deal’s objectives1, namely a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and a climate-neutral continent by 2050. They are developing technologies that will make aviation more environmentally friendly and safer, while improving citizens’ quality of life. The aviation projects implemented by the Agency are delivering results that are not only further improving existing solutions but are also – and more importantly – developing the disruptive, game-changing technologies needed to further accelerate the path towards climate neutrality.

  • FLIGHT TEST: Tecnam P2010 Triumphs By: PETER COLLINS the Tecnam P2010 Is on Course to Receive European and US Part 23 Certification This Month
    FLIGHT TEST: Tecnam P2010 triumphs By: PETER COLLINS The Tecnam P2010 is on course to receive European and US Part 23 certification this month. In May, I travelled to the Tecnam production facility in Capua, about 25km (16 miles) north of Naples, to fly and evaluate the production standard P2010 prototype that was being used for the European certification programme. The high-winged, four-seat P2010 is planned to fill a defined gap in the Tecnam product line- up that now ranges from the twin-engined P2006 to various two-seat very light aircraft that include the P2008 and from which the P2010 was developed. With a similar price, as well as external dimensions, weights and powerplants (variable pitch propellers, diesel engine and turbo petrol engine versions are already planned for after certification), the P2010 is aimed squarely at being the first, all-new, direct competitor to the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane piston singles that first flew nearly 60 years ago, and which remain successful and in production today. The simple objectives for the short test flight were to evaluate just how well Tecnam had engineered the P2010 to compete with the Cessna duo and whether it truly represents a step change in four-seat, high-winged design and operation, as befitting a 21st century aircraft. The P2010'S fuselage is made entirely from carbonfire, but the wings are constructed from conventional aluminium alloy CARBONFIBRE FUSELAGE The first and one of the biggest advantages of the new P2010, is that the fuselage is made completely from carbonfibre. This provides considerable basic weight savings, an aerodynamically complex and streamlined shape and a perfectly smooth surface.

  • News Release Draft
    News Release Draft Tecnam’s latest offering, the P Twenty-Ten took to the skies for the first time today Under the control of Tecnam’s Test Pilot, Marco Locatelli, Tecnam’s all new P Twenty-Ten achieved a faultless first flight at 16.42 UTC, over the skies of Tecnam’s Capua production facility. Marco Locatelli’s test flight report included the following details. Aircraft mass was 900kg. Lycoming IO-360 max power was attained with aircraft on the brake: 28,20 inHg MAP, 2680 RPM, no wind. After brake release normal engine behaviour and parameters were recorded and a slight increase in MAP (28,5 inHg) and prop speed (2690 RPM) was noticed. Aircraft acceleration to 50 KIAS took 8 seconds and about 300-350 ft. Effortless rotation and lift off occurred at approximately 60 KIAS. At 5000 ft 80 KIAS flaps were retracted to UP. Two to three pitch attitude angle degrees increase was set with a progressive modest pull back effort. Indicated airspeed was promptly increasing towards. Engine was then reduced to 20 InHG, 2450 RPM and speed stabilized at 100 KIAS. Pilot noted that level flight is easily kept once on trim, excellent outer view allows the pilot to have good horizon visual references and that the Garmin PFD provides superb attitude and situational awareness cues. Longitudinal, lateral and directional static stability were clearly proven at 119 KIAS, 5000 ft. A progressive levelled deceleration was initiated, 2-3 kts per second. It was possible to stop speed deceleration just by mean of pitch control, manual trim compensation was required since significant effort variation was recorded in the order of 6-8 daN per 20 KIAS of delta.

My brother Gino had just turned eleven. We lived in Benevento, a small provincial town. Our bedroom was on the second floor; we would endlessly throw small paper airplanes from our terrace, vying with each other to see who would go farther. We built these miniature aircraft with sheets of paper and competing with each other, we tried to make them always go further and further distances. We were two kids animated by a great passion for flying: these paper miniature aeroplanes were the first expres- sion of this big interest. Like all model aircraft enthusiasts we nurtured a secret hope, the dream to build a plane to fly. I am asked why our Tecnam low wing is called the Astore. Well by the early 1950’s, having lived through the chal- lenges of war and having absorbed as much technical and engineering education as we could, we produced our first aircraft the P48 Astore.
