Noise reduction breakthroughs for new ultraefficient aircraft

Mayor emphasis is expected to be put to existing/new experimental data and procedures, multi-disciplinary design and optimisation, aerodynamics, aeroacoustics and noise reduction integrated metamaterials/structures. In addition, the proposals may also provide even better noise footprint assessments and better annoyance understanding and mitigation methodologies. The topic should build upon lessons learnt and gaps identified from H2020.CS2-LPA-01-D01 as well as complementing the projects resulted from HORIZON-CL5-2022-D5-01-12.

Programme context

This Destination addresses activities that improve the climate and environmental footprint, as well as competitiveness, of different transport modes. The areas of rail and air traffic management will be addressed through dedicated Institutional European Partnerships and are therefore not included in this document. This Destination contributes directly to the Strategic Plan’s Key Strategic Orientations ‘ Green transition ’, ‘ Digital transition ’ and ‘ A more resilient, competitive, inclusive and democratic Europe ’. In line with the Strategic Plan, the overall expected impact of this Destination is to contribute to the ‘Achieving sustainable and competitive transport modes’ . The main impacts to be generated by topics under this Destination are: Zero-emission road transport Accelerated uptake of a zero-tailpipe emission ecosystem, with interoperable technological solutions developed at system level (vehicles, infrastructure, user and energy grid) that support the global competitiveness of the EU transport and mobility system. Zero-tailpipe emission mobility solutions developed that are affordable, efficient, user-friendly, inclusive, safe and circular with concepts and technologies that are easy to deploy, considering needs, behaviours and socio-economic conditions of all end-users. Clean mobility solutions for a climate neutral and environmentally friendly and zero pollution mobility with a higher level of circularity; Increased responsiveness of zero tailpipe emission vehicles and systems to diverse societal interests and concerns. Aviation Enable breakthrough technologies and innovations that will contribute to the design (addressing also eco-design and circularity principles), manufacturing, maintenance and operations of new generation aircrafts, also powered by renewable energy and sustainable aviation fuels, for a competitive and clean EU aviation ecosystem (including airports). Derisk and accelerate the introduction of new digital technologies (with emphasis on AI) at all levels in the industrial aviation ecosystem, while addressing all safety-related issues in collaboration with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Waterborne transport Higher autonomy range in electric and hybrid vessels. Uptake of renewable and low carbon fuels and improved knowledge on the suitability of innovative renewable and low carbon fuels and other energy carriers for waterborne transport. Support the objectives of the European Port Strategy and Waterborne Industrial Strategy, contributing the role of ports as energy hubs, improving efficiency and safety through digitalization, improving the resilience and security of the transport network, as well as increasing the competitiveness of the industrial and technology EU capabilities. Significant reduction of emissions from large vessels due to the merging of energy efficiency and renewable and low carbon fuels. Sustainability of waterborne transport by design, considering air and water pollution, circularity and life-cycle assessments in shipbuilding. Improved safety of seafarers, port workers and the environment. Transport-related environment and health The better monitoring of the environmental performance and enforcement of emissions regulation and biodiversity protection in order to reduce the overall environmental impact of transport (e.g.: as regards biodiversity, noise, pollution and waste) on human health and ecosystems. Legal entities established in China are not eligible to participate in both Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs) and Innovation Actions (IAs) falling under this destination. For additional information please see “Restrictions on the participation of legal entities established in China” found in General Annex B of the General Annexes.
