EU R&TD in AERONAUTICS
A Dynamic Process
Framework Programme 2 (1990-91) € 66 Mio– A “pilot phase“ to stimulate European R&TD collaboration
Framework Programme 3 (1992-95) € 130 Mio– Continue work initiated in the “pilot phase” placing the
emphasis on key technical areas Framework Programme 4 (1995-98) € 400 Mio
– Improve industrial competitiveness with increasing emphasis on subjects of wide public interest (environment, safety and ATM)
Framework Programme 5 (1999-2002) € 700 Mio– Industrial competitiveness and sustainable growth of air
transportation Framework Programme 6 (2002-2006) € 840 Mio
– Satisfying society’s needs for air transport and strengthening competitiveness
DG RTD-H.3 Aeronautics – Milano 17/6/05 – M. Brusati
• Since 1990 the EU has funded some 350 RTD projects representing a budget of about € 4 billion (EU funding ± 50%)
• The average size of a project varies between € 2 million and € 8 million with an average consortium composed of some 5 to 15 partners
• 21 projects (9 technology platforms – precursors of the Integrated Projects – in FP5 and 12 Integrated Projects in FP6) have a larger size of up to more than € 100 million with a consortium of as many as 60 partners
• Currently the EU Framework Programme represents about 30% of all the European public funding in civil aeronautics RTD

The Strategic Research Agenda: The Challenges towards the Top-level Objectives
Quality &Affordability
The challenge of delivering products and services to passengers, airlines, freight and other customers with increased quality, economy and performance
Environment
The challenge of meeting continually rising demand whilst demonstrating asensitivity to society’s needs by reducing the environmental impact
Safety
The challenge of sustaining the confidence of both the passenger and society that notwithstanding greatly increased traffic incidence of accidents will reduce
Air TransportSystem
Efficiency
Rising traffic shall not exacerbatecongestion, delays and lost opportunities. The challenge is therefore that the efficiency of thewhole system must be increased.
Security
The challenge is todevise measures that will improve security, on aglobal basis, within a highly diverse and complexsystem and against a strong backdrop of increasing traffic.
The top level objectives of the Vision 2020:• Responding to the Society’s needs
•Securing global leadership to Europe

7th Framework Programme
DG RTD-H.3 Aeronautics – Milano 17/6/05 – M. Brusati
Objectives
2 pillars:– Further develop an air transport system for the
benefit of the citizen and society, which protects the environment and natural resources and meets the requirement for reliability, safety, quality and economic viability.
– Secure and further develop the leading role attained by the aeronautics industry in the world market = competitiveness
7th Framework Programme
Aeronautics and Air Transport
DG RTD-H.3 Aeronautics – Milano 17/6/05 – M. Brusati
Rationale– More stringent society demands in response to air transport growth
(environment, safety, travel cost, security,..)
– High socio-economic impact of the aeronautics and air transport industry.
– Significant market opportunities (14000 new aircraft needed in the next 15 years worth € 1 trillion)
– Technology-dependent sector (~ R&D = 15% of turnover), but in disadvantage with respect to its main competitors with regard to public support to its RTD effort
– All the stake holders have agreed in ACARE a Strategic Research Agenda, which calls for implementation in order to realise the Vision 2020 goals
(cf. ACARE / SRA)
7th Framework Programme
Aeronautics and Air Transport
DG RTD-H.3 Aeronautics – Milano 17/6/05 – M. Brusati
Proposed Research Themes (in line with SRA-2)– The greening of air transport (also as a competitive advantage)– Increasing time efficiency– Ensuring customer satisfaction and safety– Improving cost efficiency– Protection of the aircraft and passengers– Pioneering the air transport of the future
In addition to Collaborative Research, one (or several) Joint Technology Initiative(s) is/are expected on subjects of major industrial/public interest
Aeronautics and Air Transport
DG RTD-H.3 Aeronautics – Milano 17/6/05 – M. Brusati
Joint Technology Initiatives
May Take the Form of Joint Undertakings – Article 171 of the Treaty
– “The Community may set up joint undertakings or any other structure necessary for the efficient execution of Community research, technological development and demonstration programmes”
- high flexibility - not very many cases
DG RTD-H.3 Aeronautics – Milano 17/6/05 – M. Brusati
Joint Technology Initiatives
Identification criteria include:– “market” failure– Added value of European-level intervention; E interest– Degree and clarity of definition of objective → prototype– Strength of commitment from industry– Scale of impact on industrial competitiveness and growth – Importance of contribution to broader policy objectives
(e.g. “Single Sky”)– Capacity to attract additional national support and
leverage industry funding– Inability of existing instruments to achieve objective
no “one-size-fits-all”; bottom-up definition
DG RTD-H.3 Aeronautics – Milano 17/6/05 – M. Brusati
Conclusions
1. Aeronautics and air transport: a European success and asset→ functions well; real policy and strategy→ implement the strategic research agenda
2. Room for new Member States and for a focussed international cooperation
3. Senior challenges ahead of us: - own European (traffic growth, environment, security, ...)- US competition and newcomers- spiraling cost of R&D (cf. ~11 Billion € for A380)
7th Framework Programme: New approach + new challenges (and new instrument :
JTI) needs strong budget !
