ED · JTI-Clean Sky 1-Eco Design-Integrated Technology Demonstrator

ECO - Eco Design: Eco-Design ITD is organized in the two major areas of EDA (Eco-Design for Airframe) and EDS [Eco-Design for Systems (small aircraft)]. The EDA part of the Eco-Design ITD is meant to tackle the environmental issues by focusing on the following challenges: 1. To identify and maturate environmentally sound ('green') materials and processes for a/c production. 2. To identify and maturate environmentally sound ('green') materials and processes for a/c maintenance and use processes. 3. To improve the field of end-of-life a/c operations after several decades of operation, including reuse, recyclability and disposal ('elimination') issues. 4. To provide means for an eco-design process in order to minimize the overall environmental impact of a/c production, use/maintenance and disposal.The EDS (eco design for Systems) part of the Eco-Design ITD is meant to support the evolution of small aircraft architectures towards more electric configurations and optimized use of onboard aircraft energy.
