THE "CLEAN SKY" JTI
Aviation is an essential element of today's global society, bringing people and cultures together and creating economic growth across the globe.
The air transport industry is paying a lot of attention to growing public concern about the environmental issues of air pollution, noise and climate change. Although today air transport only produces 2 % of man-made CO2 emissions, this is expected to increase to 3 % by 2050.
Clean Sky is a "Joint Technology Initiative" that will develop breakthrough technologies to significantly improve the impact of the air transport on the environment.
What is a Joint Technology Initiative (JTI)?A JTI is a type of project created by the European Commission for funding research in Europe to allow the implementation of ambitious and complex activities, including the validation of technologies at a high readiness level. The size and scale of JTIs requires the mobilisation and management of very substantial public and private investment and human resources.
