Clean Sky is a newly launched public/private partnership<br />
between industry, the research community and the<br />
European Commission. It is a bold research initiative<br />
to reduce aircraft fuel consumption, noise and<br />
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. If we are to meet<br />
our emissions targets, such technologies need to be<br />
developed now to ensure that the projected rise in air<br />
transport is offset by the next generation of more fuel<br />
efficient aircraft. The full-scale tests projected under<br />
the Clean Sky research programme will accelerate<br />
the arrival of these new technologies onto the market<br />
and into our skies.<br />

Clean Sky will pump<br />
investment of €1.6 billion into<br />
aeronautics research.<br />
