SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN ENGINES - AIRCRAFT

DEADLINE: MAY 3^rd, 2011.

BENEFICIARIES: 

Any legal entities established in  EU Member states or Associated country.

ACTIVITIES:

The programme is arranged around the six following Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs):

1. Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft,
2. Green Regional Aircraft,
3. Green Rotorcraft,
4. Systems for Green Operation,
5. Sustainable and Green Engines,
6. Eco-Design

The calls are published to support activities meeting the needs of the ITDs and in most cases, the RTD work will serve for one of the demonstrators
