Ultra Efficient Propulsion Systems for Short and Short-Medium Range Aircraft

Objective:

Development and ground test demonstration of Ultra Efficient Propulsion Systems based on ducted or unducted engine architectures, as well as core engine and combustion technologies, including advanced thermodynamic cycles and hybridisation technologies targeting ultra-efficient propulsion systems with a fuel burn reduction of minimum 20% compared to 2020 state-of-the-art. TRL 5 at ducted or unducted engine architectures system level and TRL4 at core engine / combustion technologies level at project completion.
