  • Clean Aviation
    Strategic research and innovation agenda The proposed European Partnership for Clean Aviation Draft - Version July 2020 Courtesy of DLR STRATEGIC RESEARCH AND INNOVATION AGENDA Foreword Substantial amounts of information contained within this document originate from before the coronavirus crisis Information and figures, data and forecasts included in this document originate from before the coronavirus-re- lated crisis. It is much too early to understand the full impact of the coronavirus-related crisis on short and mid- term traffic. However, it is clear that this crisis calls for even more action from the European Union institutions on green innovation and in support of the aviation sector’s transformation than there has been to date. • The need and challenge of tackling climate change is an unrelenting priority. • Connectivity and mobility are essential to humanity. While we believe the long-term need for connectivity and mobility will remain strong, and demand for aviation will recover, the short- to medium-term will be significantly impacted. • The capability of the sector to self-finance is rapidly eroding due to the severity of the economic and finan- cial emergency that is propelling the aviation and aeronautics industries into an unprecedented crisis. • For Europe to maintain a leading role in aviation its industry needs a level playing field. On the worldwide stage other economic powers such as the US and China are heavily supporting their sectors with R&I. The US has recently announced a significant stimulus package for the aeronautics industry going well beyond previous levels of R&I support and tax breaks. China’s capacity to invest is comparable.

So it is no surprise that collaboration is essential in everything we do. It’s never boring, frequently surprising and often a challenge. However, it can be very rewarding to build the relationships required and then to see them result in practical steps to improve the performance of European aviation, something that is vital as traffic is now clearly growing again. We have seen record numbers this year, with nearly 36 thousand flights on a single day. Over the whole year, we expect to handle around 10.6 million flights. In practice, this collaboration means maintaining effective working relationships with every Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) across Europe. We look at their performance, at their plans and at the forecast traffic levels; then we discuss how issues can be resolved, before they cause problems. Sometimes that means spending a lot of time with a particular country to see how to overcome a particular challenge.
